Associate Degree Nursing, AAS

EICC's Associate of Applied Science in Associate Degree Nursing academically prepares students for a career as a licensed Registered Nurse.

National Certification


The Associate Degree Nursing, AAS program prepares students to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Students must have graduated from an approved program of academic study prior to sitting for the NCLEX-RN examination.

State Licensure


Requirements for licensure for Registered Nurses may vary from state to state and may involve more than successful degree completion and passing the NCLEX-RN exam. Graduates who apply for licensure may need to satisfy other requirements, such as completing an application, or paying a fee. Some states offer multiple pathways to achieve licensure.

EICC makes every effort to verify the information provided on requirements for licensure is accurate and up-to-date, however, these requirements are subject to change at any time. Students who will be seeking licensure as a Registered Nurse are strongly encouraged to review the licensure requirements at the associated website, linked below where available, for the state in which they intend to practice.
