LVN to RN Transition Program
Program
Description:
The
profession of
registered
nursing involves
the provision of
health care
services, both
direct and
indirect, that
focus on the
maintenance,
promotion, and
restoration of
health. This
includes basic
health care to
help people cope
with
difficulties in
daily living
that are
associated with
actual or
potential
problems of
health, illness,
or the treatment
thereof.
Nursing is a
dynamic
problem-solving
profession that
focuses on the
response of the
individual to
health problems.
The practice of
registered
nursing requires
a substantial
amount of
scientific
knowledge and
technical
skills, as well
as leadership
and managerial
abilities.
Students attend
classes on the
Merced College
campus. Nursing
experience is
provided in
selected local
hospitals and
health agencies.
Students
progress through
the coursework
as cohorts in
the same
prescribed
sequence of
classroom and
non-classroom
instruction.
The program
operates on a
fixed
classroom-meeting
schedule,
consistent from
term to term.
The redesigned
courses operate
across systems
using
technology,
blended learning
models, and
using open
textbooks and
courseware.
Most remediation
is embedded into
the program
curriculum,
supplemented as
necessary
through
instruction that
is parallel and
simultaneous to
the program,
rather than
preceding it.
Students should
develop stronger
math and English
skills as they
build program
competencies,
using the
program as
context, and
there will be
clear basic
skill outcome
expectations
with rigorous
assessments.
Credit Value:
Minimum 30
Units.
Certification
granted:
Associate
Degree in
Nursing.
