      Registered Nursing

      Associate Degree Nursing Program

      Nursing (RN) at NC


      Name of Department: Associate Degree Nursing

      Name of Department Chair/Program Director: Julie Arteaga, MSN, RN, CNE

      Thank you for your interest in the Associate Degree Nursing program at Navarro College. We are committed to promoting the best possible educational experience for our students. Navarro College nursing faculty have evidence-based practices, attend annual nursing education training, and comply with nationally recognized professional and ethical standards. We are proud of our high student and customer satisfaction scores.

      The Traditional Associate Degree Nursing program is a two-year curriculum which leads to an Associate in Applied Science degree. The curriculum includes classroom learning activities, campus skills labs, faculty-directed low tech clinical simulation experiences, and clinical agency learning experiences. Graduates who meet eligibility requirements as mandated by the Texas Board of Nursing and who successfully complete the NCLEX-RN licensure examination are eligible to begin practice as registered nurses.

      The Associate Degree Bridge Program is a two-year mobility curriculum with summer bridge or transition courses that allow LVNs (Licensed Vocational Nurses) to “bridge” the gap between Vocational Nursing Education and the second year of the Associate Degree Nursing Program. Please visit the LVN-RN Bridge website for details.

      Traditional ADN applicants must meet all general program admission requirements including attendance at a program Information Session. Applications are due in February. Traditional applications have two (2) pre-requisite courses:

      Pre-Requisite Courses Required:

      • BIOL 2401 – Anatomy & Physiology I (A&P I)
      • BIOL 2402 – Anatomy & Physiology II (A&P II)

      All pre-requisite courses must be completed within 7 years of making application. Applications sent without the required pre-requisite will not be accepted. Any of the other Non-RNSG degree plan courses on the degree plan can be taken prior to entering the program or after admission.

      ADN Degree Plans will be initiated upon admission to the ADN Program and will be changed if the student drops from the program. New students will be registered for the appropriate RNSG classes by ADN faculty. New students should register themselves for other required classes and, of course, select the schedule the student prefers. A calendar that details the RNSG course lecture, lab, and clinical schedules will be available to students prior to the start of the semester.

      A few things to know if you are interested in applying for 2021 admission to the ADN program:

      • TEAS Exam: If you are interested in admission for 2021, you may take the TEAS exam twice between March 1, 2020 and the application deadline for 2021 admissions.
      • The ADN Program will only accept science classes (Anatomy and Physiology Iⅈ Microbiology) completed with 7 years prior to the application deadline.

      For 2021 admissions, all prerequisite courses must be completed by the end of the fall 2020 semester. All prerequisite courses are indicated in ADN degree plans.

      Effective September 1st 2017, HB 1508 amends the Texas Occupations Code Section 53 that requires education providers to notify you a potential or enrolled student that a criminal history may make you ineligible for an occupational license upon program completion.

      The following website provides links to information about the licensing process and requirements http://www.bne.state.tx.us/licensure_eligibility.asp

      Any nursing applicant who has been arrested, convicted of a crime other than a minor traffic violation, diagnosed with, treated, or hospitalized in the past five years for schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, paranoid personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, or borderline personality disorder, or addicted to or treated for the use of alcohol or any other drug within the past five years, must petition the Texas Board of Nursing for a declaratory order concerning their eligibility to take the licensing examination, the NCLEX-RN.

      The application for a declaratory order can be downloaded from the BON website at https://www.bon.texas.gov/forms_declaratory_order.asp. This declaratory order must be completed and the eligibility letter received before the student starts nursing courses. If the case must be sent to the enforcement division, the processing may take up to 24 months. 

      This information is being provided to all persons who apply or enroll in the program with notice of the requirements as described above, regardless of whether or not the person has been convicted of a criminal offense.

      Additionally, HB 1508 authorizes licensing agencies to require reimbursements when a student fails to receive the required notice.
