Jersey College has a holistic approach to the nursing education process.

These principles provide the structure framework and foundation for the nursing curriculum. The primary building block for the Practical Nursing curriculum is the holistic nursing model.
A sample education plan and course descriptions are available below.
The LPN Program includes both academic classroom work and clinical education in our training labs and with our offsite practicum partners. The program follows a Humanistic model, recognizing that every person is uniquely composed and more than a sum of their parts.

Is an ADN the same as an RN?
An ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing) is a type of nursing degree that can lead to becoming an RN (Registered Nurse).
ADN programs typically take 2-3 years to complete and focus on the core nursing courses needed to become an RN, whereas a BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) program is a 4-year degree that includes additional general education courses and additional nursing coursework.
Once a student completes either an ADN or BSN program and passes the NCLEX-RN exam, they are eligible to become a licensed RN.
