Overview
As a Registered Nurse (RN) you will be a vital member of the health care team. The
Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program will prepare you to function with judgment
and technical competence in providing care for individual patients, as well as
groups of patients. You will gain the knowledge and skills to work competently as
a registered nurse. The ADN program provides a balance between knowledge and
technical skills in physical and biological sciences, social sciences and nursing. It
also includes classroom discussion, independent learning projects, audio-tutorial
labs and hands-on clinical experiences in area health care agencies.
MSTC's Nursing program is part of the system-wide curriculum developed by the
Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS). The ADN program will offer the option to
students to be eligible to take the national licensing test for Licensed Practical Nurse
after completion of the first year (32 credits). Students will be eligible to take the licensing
exam for Registered Nurse after completion of all 70 credits in the ADN program.
The Nursing program is fully accredited by the National League for Nursing
Accrediting Commission (NLNAC) and can be reached for program verification
