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.

Clarification on Changes in Math Requirements for the Nursing Program:
By the end of the SP/08 semester, MAT 110 and 204 will no longer be options for the math elective in the nursing major. All nursing students will be required to complete MAT 113, MAT 115 or MAT 140 as a pre-requisite to nursing courses.
For those students that have an Academic Plan in place and followed their assigned plan to complete MAT 204 PRIOR TO MAY 2008, MAT 204 will be accepted as the math elective for those petitioning for admission to nursing courses FA/09.
Students that do NOT have an Academic Plan in place or have not completed MAT 204 as planned by MAY 2008 will be required to complete MAT 113, 115, or 140 as a pre-requisite to nursing courses beginning FA/09. (This will necessitate a plan revision for any student that has not completed MAT 204 by May 2008.)
Any transfer students applying after MAY 2008 will fall into the new requirement of needing MAT 113, 115, or 140 as the nursing math.
