BATTLE CREEK, Mich. — Kellogg Community College has announced the new Nights and Weekends Part-Time Nursing Program, which it will start offering this fall. The goal of the program is to provide students with busy schedules a flexible option in pursuing a nursing degree.
The new program will introduce a fall cohort start, and a schedule requiring just one weeknight of classes each week. Clinical experiences will be offered on Saturdays.
After three semesters, students in the program will have earned a Practical Nursing Certificate. This makes them eligible to take a practical nurse licensure exam to become a licensed practical nurse. The full program will result in an Associate in Applied Science in Nursing Degree, which allows graduates to complete the registered nurse license exam to become a registered nurse.
The Part-Time Nursing Program is generally expected to take students seven semesters to complete, or approximately two and a half years. This includes three fall semesters, two spring semesters, and two summer semesters.
Applications for the Nights and Weekends Part-Time Nursing Program are now available on the college’s website. They will be accepted through May 22.
