Associate's
Degree in Nursing (ADN)
The Associate's Degree in Nursing (ADN) is a nursing program that focuses on building technical skills.
Upon successful completion, graduates should be eligible to pursue licensure by the board of nursing in a state of their choice. Upon licensure, they are either Licensed
Practical Nurses or Registered
Nurses depending on the certification process they went through, and should be qualified to pursue nursing opportunities.
For some, the ADN could be a stepping-stone to earning their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. Many nurses begin their ADN with a LPN to ADN Degree
