The Associate Degree Nursing program is designed to prepare men and women for general staff registered nursing positions which involve direct care of patients. NIACC offers two routes of entry into the program. One program is designed for beginning students, and the other is for Licensed Practical Nurses desiring to continue their education to become a registered nurse. The program is approved by the Iowa Board of Nursing and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (3343 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 850, Atlanta, GA 30326, phone: 404-975-5000, fax: 404-975-5020, www.nlnac.org). The ADN program articulates with 4-year nursing baccalaureate programs in Iowa allowing graduates to continue their nursing education. The University of Iowa College of Nursing offers an RN-BSN Progression Program on the NIACC campus. Upon completion of the program, students are awarded an associate degree in applied science and are then prepared to work in a beginning staff nurse position. Graduates are eligible for the NCLEX-RN exam. After passing this exam, the graduate receives registered nurse status. 100% of available NIACC
graduates are employed in training-related jobs. The application process, entrance requirements and curriculum are
provided in the ADN Program Brochure.
Students should be aware that travel outside of Mason City is required for clinical experiences. In addition, some clinical experiences may be scheduled during evening/night hours and weekends.
