Cypress College
Registered Nursing Program

Today's Date: Monday February 8, 2010

The program educates nursing students for patient/client services in a variety of health care settings. Clinical experience in hospitals and other health care agencies is correlated with classroom instruction.

After satisfactory completion of all courses and the specified general education requirements of Cypress College, the individual will receive an Associate Degree in Nursing and is eligible to take the Registered Nursing State Licensing Examination.

When you graduate with the Associate Degree, you will find that nursing is a challenging, multi-faceted career choice. The many employment opportunities include working in hospitals, skilled nursing, facilities, home health care agencies, clinics, physicians' offices and hospices.

The Department of Nursing articulates with most area universities, which means they accept lower division work from Cypress. Many of our graduates continue on to an upper division program of study specifically designed for registered nurses leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

The nursing program is approved by The California State Board of Registered Nursing and fully accredited by The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.

(If you have been convicted of any offense other than a minor traffic
violation, it may prevent your attending clinical rotations where
criminal background checks are required. You will be required to
declare offenses on your state application to write the licensing exam, which may affect your eligibility to become licensed.)
