ABOUT NURSING

MISSION STATEMENT

The Nursing program at Seward County Community College prepares competent practical and associate degree nurses
to assist in meeting the health care needs of clients
by delivering quality wholistic care.

Seward County Community College offers the ten-month Practical Nursing program and the two-year Associate Degree Nursing program.

The two programs are viewed as separate, although the Practical Nursing program can serve as the first year of the Associate Degree program.

Applicants to the Associate Degree Nursing program must be graduates from a Practical Nursing program. Graduates of a Practical Nursing program from another state must have equivalent course work as outlined in the Practical Nursing curriculum and must pass challenge exams to receive credit for the Practical Nursing courses.
