    PROGRAM INFORMATION

    Graduates receiving an Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) from SLCC are eligible to apply for licensure through the Louisiana State Board of Nursing (LSBN) as a Registered Nurse (RN). The RN is educated as a generalist who delivers health care to clients and family groups and has competencies related to the art and science of nursing.

    The RN may be employed in a variety of acute, long-term, and community-based health care settings. Registered Nurses function within the legal scope of practice and use professional standards of care when caring for clients and families across the life span. The degree provides the graduate with an educational foundation for articulation into the university setting for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), if desired.

    Upon completion of the ASN degree, the graduate is eligible to apply to the LSBN for initial licensure and to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). The examination is designed to test the knowledge, skills and abilities essential to the safe and effective practice of nursing at the entry level. Upon successful completion of this examination, the graduate becomes licensed to legally practice as a Registered Nurse in the State of Louisiana.

    LOUISIANA STATE BOARD OF NURSING (LSBN)

    The LSBN requires all applicants that are accepted for admission to complete an Application for Approval to Enroll in a Clinical Nursing Course form and an authorization form for a criminal background check.

LSBN can approve, deny, delay, or otherwise restrict the enrollment of the student. If approval is not granted by the LSBN the student will not be admitted to the program.
