An Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program is a college-level nursing program designed to prepare students to become registered nurses (RNs). Typically completed in two to three years, ADN programs combine classroom instruction with hands-on clinical training to develop essential nursing skills such as patient care, medication administration, and health assessment. Graduates of an ADN program are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN licensure exam, and upon passing, they can work as registered nurses in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and other healthcare settings. ADN programs are often more affordable and offer a faster pathway into the nursing workforce compared to four-year nursing degrees.
