The Associate of Science Degree in Nursing prepares graduates to take the licensing examination (NCLEX-RN) to become a Registered Nurse (RN). RNs work in a team with other healthcare professionals to provide care for clients in a variety of healthcare settings.

Nurses function as caregivers and patient advocates in the promotion and restoration of health and the prevention of disease. Nursing encompasses care of a multicultural client population across the life span in any setting where healthcare is needed.  Practical nursing education at BCCC is designed as a complete formal education for entry into practical nurse practice.
