This is a competitive admission accelerated program designed to prepare
a person to become a registered nurse. The program requires
continuous study to complete all required clinical course work within
fourteen (14) months. It is both a career and a transfer program.
Graduates are qualified for positions in hospitals, community agencies,
long term care facilities and other health care settings. Graduates are
also eligible for direct transfer to selected baccalaureate nursing programs
in Maryland. Learning occurs through classroom experience,
simulated laboratory activities and clinical assignments in a variety of
health care settings. The program is approved by the Maryland Board of
Nursing 4140 Patterson Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland 21215, 410-764-
5124, and accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting
Commission, 61 Broadway, New York, New York 10006, 1-800-669-1656
ext. 242. Successful completion of courses in this program will lead to
eligibility to be considered by the Maryland Board of Nursing to write
the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurse licensure.
By law, the Maryland Board of Nursing may deny admission to sit
for licensure for a variety of reasons. These include conviction of a
misdemeanor or felony, if the offense bears directly on the fitness of
the person to practice nursing.
