Both programs include equivalent classroom, clinical, and lab hours, which provide ample opportunities for students to become proficient in their nursing knowledge and skills. Because the Transition to Nursing program is considered full-time and is an intense 14-month experience, students are advised not to hold full- or part-time jobs. ׉ 7cassandra://DubnMkP8MWpXGRxmmA8_THoldOclaAGEuHh9LFsQtzw`_=)QU>c_=)QU>c(בCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://-VbJ7nH8hMAxwjNYwlr-rEG5Zil0dg7Bp4YEQmVRMgM'/`׉ 7cassandra://n1xHfDg-FRBE9rjDQX_Hxs1mGqUi5tL4xDwc22uwNnk8-`s׉ 7cassandra://QxAth2_ZUfDyuezpUdrtVbDD7FYMEXE3GRod-tMZcTUs`׉ 7cassandra://Dx-KTg8DwC0_49qjb0hrXmaVwfLOTc0X2947MO2ae0QR*d͠]_=)RU>cט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://yGhu40aPfv2-XUKWFZNc2qnsQW5MVuxHEX0ZWxpKkwk `׉ 7cassandra://i2lE_BZa78hGob4tjLMbOqSnmW9uFlDbwY-EeJX_qF8Q`s׉ 7cassandra://o1jOdmecbC3jM8DvRmjvpVD_anZjqQ6PpVkjfK-hns4<`׉ 7cassandra://kMZencPbveyye0Vn2FVwpOBq2i9j8CgOQiMZBDHz9Fs:͠]_=)RU>c׉EaCHECK OFF THE PREREQUISITES The Transition to Nursing program takes into consideration your past academic record and previous work experiences.
