The Registered Nursing Education Program at College of Marin prepares students for entry into the nursing profession, and serves as a foundation for advanced nursing studies. The Program faculty view Nursing Education as an individualized, collaborative endeavor that assists students in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for entry-level nursing practice. Emphasizing critical thinking, effective communication, and cultural and clinical competence, the Program aims to prepare graduates for roles as care providers across the health care continuum, as managers of care, and as active members of the nursing profession. The Program affirms the dignity and worth of each individual, and strives to educate students who are adaptable, responsible, politically aware, and committed to lifelong learning. Graduates are prepared for entry-level practice in a variety of healthcare settings. The Registered Nursing Program is guided and approved by the Board of Registered Nursing and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission through fall 2015. Graduates are prepared to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. The Program offers opportunities for advanced placement for returning, transfer and challenge students. Students must complete prerequisite courses and assessments prior to application and entry into the Program. All potential applicants are advised to meet with a College of Marin counselor to clarify requirements and develop an education plan.
