The Associate Degree Nursing (A.D.N.) program
at Santa Ana College (SAC) is
approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) and accredited
by the National League
for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). The program is designed to qualify the student
for the licensure examination and entry into practice as a
Registered Nurse (RN). Additionally, completion of the A.D.N. degree
prepares a student to transfer to a four-year institution for completion of
a baccalaureate degree. The curriculum follows the SAC Conceptual Framework for Nursing.
Completion of a Nursing Orientation
(call (714) 564-6100 for Santa Ana College Counseling) is strongly advised. Advanced placement in
the program may be granted to those students with certain prior experience, vocational nursing, or registered nursing education or equivalent.
Advanced Placement/Transfer/Challenge applicants require an individual appointment with the
Program Director. Advanced
placement students are accepted on a space-available basis. Priority class
placement is given to continuing and SAC re-entry students.
PLEASE NOTE:
The
SAC Nursing Program has Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funding. A directive from
the California Employment Development Department states that
programs that receive WIA funding must give priority for entry
for the number of spots funded by WIA to Veterans (discharged
above a dishonorable discharge) or their eligible spouses after the
prerequisites have been met. Service must have been in the
active military,
naval, or air service, including the National
Guard. Proof of discharge is required.
An
eligible spouse of a veteran means the veteran has to have died from a
service-related disability, been MIA, or captured/forcibly detained.
Please
notify the Health Sciences/Nursing Office at 714-564-6825 if you are
eligible for this priority entry.
Please note: entry to the first semester using WIA funding will only
occur for Fall 2010, Fall 2011, and Fall 2012. WIA funding for entry to
2nd, 3rd, and 4th semesters will occur at various times from Spring 2011
through Fall 2014.
September 14, 2011: The SAC Nursing Program has been notified of the
possibility that the WIA funding will be discontinued. Therefore, the
expected entry for students shown above may not occur. As more
information is forthcoming, updates will be posted to this site.
October 26, 2011: The SAC Nursing Program has been notified that the WIA
funding will be discontinued. No additional students will be added to
the program with this funding, effective immediately. Veterans currently
on the entry lists will enter the program when space is available.
►►► Students entering the Nursing Program may be required to pass a drug
test. Failure to pass the drug test will result in NOT being able to enter the
program.
► New
applications for the first semester entry list have not been accepted
since
June 2009, due to a transition in the admission process. Please visit
our site periodically for any changes made in the admission process.
►
Due to the length of the
entry list for third semester (advanced placed, LVN to RN, and
30-unit option), new
applications for that semester will not be accepted after June 30, 2011.
