Associate of Science
Introduction
Associate of Science is a Diploma program taught at Purdue Global University (Student email), USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (1.5 years (average completion)) options.
The Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) is a nursing degree that prepares you to develop knowledge and clinical skills to direct and manage patient care, communicate with patients and caregivers, and work as part of a health care team. The program includes courses that prepare you for the NCLEX-RN exam and offers a pathway to earn bachelor's-level credits as part of the ASN-to-BSN pathway.
Courses are taken online, with lab and simulation experiences completed in the Cedar Rapids area, Council Bluffs, or Des Moines, IA, or Bangor, ME. You complete clinicals at a local health care facility equipped with medical tools used in the field, plus simulators for clinical scenarios. The ASN-to-BSN pathway is described as a two-step process: complete the ASN in under 2 years and then begin online courses in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing while preparing for the NCLEX-RN exam.
