Maye Durant, Interim Director of Nursing Education

The A.D.N. program at Eastern Oklahoma State College prepares graduates to earn an Associate of Applied Science degree with a major in nursing and are eligible to write the NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) to become a registered nurse. Two years (four semesters) of full time academic study are required to complete the program, however, students may take reduced loads during the academic year to accommodate working and family obligations. One class is admitted each August. Instruction is planned to provide close correlation between theory and practice. Hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, hospice, and home health agencies are utilized for nursing experience.

The program prepares individuals to perform client-centered care at the beginning staff nurse level. Graduates may pursue career interests in a variety of specialty areas and services.
