The Associate of Arts in Nursing (ADN) program at Glendale Career College provides the education and training to help you begin your Registered Nursing career. The ADN program at GCC is an all-inclusive year-round program, consisting of six 16-week semesters over the course of 24 months, which allows many graduates to enter the workforce sooner than students enrolled in other traditional nursing programs.
The ADN program at GCC provides students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to function as a Registered Nurse in a variety of settings. Students enrolled in this program receive classroom, laboratory, and clinical instruction in nursing areas of fundamentals, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical/surgical nursing, mental health, obstetrics, and pediatric nursing.
The Associate of Arts in Nursing program is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) and accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES).
Admission Criteria for the ADN Program
Preparation for Licensure
Students completing the ADN program are qualified to apply for licensure through the Board of Registered Nursing (BRN). Once a graduate is made eligible by the BRN, the graduate may take the NCLEX-RN, and the college provides on-going NCLEX-RN preparation and personalized remediation aimed toward student success.
