| Broome Community College Department of Nursing offers a two-year, college-based curriculum to prepare graduates for immediate entrance into the entry level of registered nursing. This program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and registered by the New York State Education Department. BCC Nursing Department has articulation agreements with a variety of Bachelor of Science Nursing schools which makes transfer to these programs a smooth transition. LPNs may apply for direct transfer credit and/or challenge first year nursing courses. The curriculum operates as a college program, with classes and laboratories held on the campus. The clinical experiences, which are an integral part of the Nursing curriculum, occur in affiliating hospitals, nursing homes and community agencies in the triple cities. Grading in the extended campus laboratory is on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis. A special "Evening/Weekend Nursing Program" is offered. SEQUENCE OF COURSES: This model is a two-year course schedule for students meeting all program requirements and deciding to pursue full-time study. Schedules will be redesigned for those requiring preparatory courses. These students who wish part-time study may do so. Pre-Requisite Courses include: Regents level high school Biology and Chemistry, as well as Course I and II in Math, all with an earned grade of 74 or better. |
