spacer Northern offers a rigorous, evidence-based two-year associate degree in nursing (ADN) curriculum.

Graduates of the ADN program obtain either an Associate of Applied Science or an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing. There is a Practical Nurse Certificate option after successful completion for the first year (Level 1) of nursing course work. We are approved by the State of New Mexico Board of Nursing (36-401).

Upon successful completion of the first year nursing courses (level I), students may opt to take two additional nursing courses (NURS 116L and NURS 119) and receive a Practical Nurse Certificate. Students are then eligible to take the PN National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN). Students may exit the program at this time or continue on with second year nursing courses (level II).

Upon successful completion of the second-year nursing courses (level II) students receive either an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Nursing or an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing and are eligible to take the RN licensure exam (NCLEX-RN).

Graduates of the ADN program are prepared to continue toward completion of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at a four-year college or university.
