Clarion's Associate of Science in Nursing Program offers both a comprehensive and intensive form of nursing education in a balanced curriculum of nursing and liberal arts. It is designed to prepare technical nurses to give client-centered care within structured settings and to work effectively with other members of the health care team. The two year Associate of Science in Nursing program provides the graduate with a foundation for further study at the Baccalaureate level. Upon completion of the program, the graduate will be eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) to become a registered nurse (RN).The ASN program's primary goal is the provision of educational experiences to promote scientific inquiry, creative thinking, critical judgment, and self-evaluation.
