<strong>ASSOCIATE</strong> <strong>DEGREE</strong> <strong>PROGRAM</strong> <strong>IN</strong> NURS<strong>IN</strong>G -<strong>ASSOCIATE</strong> <strong>IN</strong> SCIENCE<br />
The Associate Degree Program in Nursing is offered as a two-year full-time day program at the <strong>Quincy</strong> and<br />
Plymouth Campuses beginning each year in September. All degree requirements must be completed within four<br />
years of initial admission to the program.<br />
In all nursing courses, students are scheduled for clinical nursing practice in a variety of settings under the<br />
supervision of qualified nursing faculty. Required clinical time may be days, evenings, or weekends. Acceptance<br />
to the program does not guarantee a clinical placement. Applicants are advised that clinical agencies require<br />
that a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) check is completed on students before they are allowed<br />
in the clinical setting. A positive CORI check may result in dismissal from the program. Additionally, some clinical<br />
partners require drug screening of students placed in their facility. These providers reserve the right to refuse and/<br />
or reject a student whose drug test does not meet facility guidelines. Students who test positive for the presence<br />
of illegal drugs will result in dismissal from the program.<br />
Students who successfully complete the program are eligible to take the NCLEX examination for licensure as a<br />
Registered Nurse (RN). Applicants are advised that they must be of good moral character in order to be granted<br />
licensure by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A student who has been convicted in a court of law will be<br />
reviewed by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing and may be denied entrance to the licensure<br />
examination.<br />
The Associate Degree Program in Nursing is fully approved by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Board of<br />
Registration in Nursing and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commision (NLNAC), 3343<br />
