Course Description:

'' The Nursing program at CMCC is designed as a multiple entry/exit curriculum preparing individuals at both the Practical Nurse level and the Registered Nurse level.
Year one of the curriculum serves a dual purpose; by itself it meets the educational criteria for practical nursing but also serves as the first year of the two year Associate in Science (RN) degree program.

Upon application, the individual chooses to pursue the goal of either the Diploma (PN) or the Associate Degree (RN). Students in the diploma option exit at the completion of the first year and are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensing examination, for licensure as a Practical Nurse. Graduates in the associate degree program are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensing Examination, for licensure as a Registered Professional Nurse.

All applicants should note that: "The Maine State Board of Nursing may refuse to grant a license on the basis of criminal history record information relating to convictions denominated in Title 5, chapter 341, subsection 5301 of the Maine Revised Statutes Annotated."
Applicants with previous nursing knowledge and skills have the opportunity for advanced placement. Applicants can be admitted as full or part-time students. The Nursing program is approved by the Maine State Board of Nursing, 158 State House Station, 161 Capital Street, Augusta, Maine 04333-0158 - telephone - (207) 287-1133. In addition, the Associate Degree option was granted continuing accreditation in 1996 by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, 61 Broadway, 33rd Floor, New York City, NY 10006 - telephone - (212) 363-5555. The Program was reaccredited in July 2004.

Career Opportunities
Graduates of either level are prepared to work in structured health care settings such as hospitals and extended care facilities and pursue careers in medical/surgical, obstetrical, pediatric, geriatric, or psychiatric nursing.
