Associate Degree Nursing

It is the goal of Shelton State Community College to graduate well prepared nurses who are strong practitioners both clinically and academically. To that end, ADN students should plan for twelve to sixteen hours per week of clinical experience. Although class and clinical hours will be planned as conveniently as possible, there may be evening or weekend assignments. Because of the clinical time involved and the preparation time for some of the nursing courses, students are encouraged to consider completing all the academic requirements (non-nursing courses) prior to admission to the ADN program.
