Registered
Nursing
Associate of Applied Arts and Sciences
Students successfully completing this program
are eligible to take the licensure examination for registered nursing.
Registered nurses (RNs) carry out physician
directives for patient care and make independent decisions concerning
patient care based on the nursing process.
As important members of the health care team,
RNs perform a wide variety of functions, including assessing patient conditions
and environmental factors; planning and implementing care; evaluating
the outcome of care given; and replanning as needed.
This program is approved by the Michigan State
Board of Nursing. Completion of the prescribed program does not guarantee
successful performance on the licensure examination.
