Nursing Program
Nursing is a health career open to men and women with various goals, interests, and capabilities. Many opportunities are available for nurses in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, community settings, industry and physician’s offices.
Nursing courses are offered at the Chesapeake College Center for Nursing & Allied Health, Memorial Hospital at Easton, MD, Inc., 2 nd floor of the North Wing, 219 S. Washington Street, Easton, MD. The Associate of Science Degree in Nursing option requires students to complete NUR 102, NUR 111, NUR 120, NUR 210, NUR 220, NUR 230 and several prescribed general education courses to be eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) for registered nurses.
The Maryland Board of Nursing determines admission to the NCLEX-RN examination. By law, the board may deny licensure for a variety of reasons that include conviction of a felony or crime involving moral turpitude, if the nature of the offense bears directly on the fitness of the person to practice nursing.
The Chesapeake College/MGW Nursing Program is fully approved by the Maryland Board of Nursing and the Maryland Higher Education Commission. In addition, the program is accredited by the National League of Nursing Accrediting Commission.
