Program Information
Associate of Science in Nursing (LPN-ASN)
South College’s Associate of Science in Nursing (LPN/ASN option) program is designed to provide Licensed Practical Nurses with a strong academic and clinical foundation for becoming a nurse generalist. With classroom, lab, and hands-on clinical training from our experienced instructors, you’ll focus on how to serve as part of a healthcare team to provide collaborative, interdisciplinary care that improves patient outcomes.
The program pathway for the LPN/ASN option may be completed in 7 quarters (21 months). These courses require approximately 20 hours of in-class time per week, along with work outside the classroom, including reading and analysis. Nursing courses explore mental health, pediatric, adult health, maternal infant nursing care, and more. Prerequisite core courses include medical terminology, anatomy, and more. By the time you earn your ASN, you’ll have worked to gain the fundamental skills and competence needed for effective patient care and will be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam.
