2007-2008 Grace University Catalog
Nursing Program Cooperative with Clarkson College
Program Advisor:
K.C. Pullen, RN
This program is based on an articulation agreement with Clarkson College in Omaha, Nebraska.
Upon graduation, students are prepared to practice collaboratively with colleagues in other disciplines in a variety of settings. Practical Nursing graduates are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) for Practical Nurses. Graduates, upon successful completion of the NCLEX-PN, will be able to articulate into programs of study leading to licensure as a registered nurse.
Any student matriculating at Grace University into this cooperative program is considered a Clarkson College student, providing that the student meets the standardized testing and required high school courses stipulated by Clarkson College. Grace University provides Clarkson College with appropriate admissions related documentation upon formal acceptance into the program for admissions planning purposes and program management.
In this cooperative program the Practical Nursing Diploma is granted by Clarkson College, and the Associate of Arts degree is granted by Grace University upon 1) the positive recommendation by the faculties of both institutions and 2) successful completion of both program requirements (including payment of fees to both institutions).
Graduates are considered alumni of both institutions. Any and all documentation and/or attestations required for state licensing requirements within the profession of nursing are coordinated by Clarkson College. Student tuition and fees are paid by the student directly to the respective institution based on each institution’s tuition and fee structure.
