Embark on a nursing career by becoming a registered nurse (RN). This program qualifies graduates to take the National Council Licensure Examination, enabling professional nursing practice. (Bellevue College boasts a 96% first-time pass rate.) The curriculum blends general college education with nursing principles, featuring hands-on clinical training in labs, simulation environments, and real healthcare settings. Launch your nursing journey with an Associate Degree in Nursing or advance further with a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing at Bellevue College or other institutions.
After completing prerequisite courses, this competitive two-year program readies students for RN licensure. The program holds accreditation from the National League for Nursing Commission for Nursing Education Accreditation (NLN CNEA).
The Associate Degree in Nursing AAS-T (ADN AAS-T) serves as a stepping stone toward RN licensure. Graduates qualify to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam and earn an academic degree from Bellevue College (ADN-AAS-T). The Washington State Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission grants the actual RN license, which outlines specific licensure requirements. Furthermore, graduates gain preparation for entering RN-to-BSN completion programs.
