Discover your potential with a career in nursing. At Great
Basin College we offer a two-year Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in nursing. The
program is fully approved by the Nevada State Board of Nursing and accredited by the National
League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC,
61 Broadway, New York, NY 10006, 800-669-1656). Instruction
by experienced, registered nurse educators, coupled with small class sizes provide an ideal learning
environment for you. Up-to-date curricula integrates
courses in nursing with general education requirements. Laboratory and clinical experience
is offered at the college, in the Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital, nursing homes and other
community facilities.
Admission to the AAS degree in nursing program is a separate process from admission to Great
Basin College. Enrollment in the program is limited,
and students are admitted only in the fall semester to begin the four-semester sequence of nursing
courses. Click the button below for admissions requirements and the program application. The application deadline for Fall, 2008 is April 1, 2008.
Qualified
applicants are selected first from the five-county Great Basin College service area. Other
Nevada residents are considered next. If positions are still available, out-of-state applicants
are considered. Students
taking the prerequisite courses and other non-nursing courses are designated pre-nursing students. Students
who have applied for and been accepted into the nursing program are designated nursing students. Only
nursing students can enroll in courses with the NURS designation unless otherwise specified in
the course description.
