The curriculum offers a planned, sequential learning
program progressing from simple to complex. It is routinely evaluated to
reflect currency and changes in nursing practice and the health care system.
A graduate is prepared to provide and manage patient care and to be a member
of the profession of nursing.
Nursing courses build on certain support courses and are offered during specific semesters. Therefore, accepted students must complete the course sequence listed below, unless general education and science courses are taken prior to entering the Nursing program. A list of course descriptions can be found on the Oakton Community College home page at: http://www.oakton.edu/acad/catalog/crscat12.html#nur |
Semester I: |
 All
courses must be completed prior to or during the semesters indicated. All
NUR and science courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C. Clinical
placement may require a health assessment, certain immunizations, substance
abuse testing, specific skill certification (i.e., CPR) and health insurance.
The requirements represent an additional program cost to the student.
NUR 151, the LPN option, a five-credit-hour course offered during summer session, must be completed by students who enter the program with the intention of becoming a licensed practical nurse and by conditionally admitted students. It is optional for other students in the associate degree nursing program. The availability of NUR 151 is contingent upon sufficient enrollment for the course. NUR 153, Introduction to Registered Nursing for the Licensed
Practical Nurse, is a one-credit-hour course for LPNs seeking placement
into the second semester in the first year of the nursing program.
