Cloud County Community College Nurse Pinning 

The Nursing Department at Cloud County Community College prepares students to earn an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing (AAS) degree. At the completion of the program students are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN to practice as Registered Nurses. Nearly 1,600 nurses are graduates of this program with a large majority of them practicing in North Central Kansas and South Central Nebraska. CCCC has prepared students to earn an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing (AAS) since 1978. 

Students who wish to become Registered Nurses through our program have the following two options:
1. Associate Degree Nursing - Capable students taking college courses appropriate to the nursing plan of study may apply to the generic traditional option to complete two years of nursing education.
2. LPN to ADN Advanced Standing Option - Students who are in a practical nursing program or are already Licensed Practical Nurses may apply as advanced standing option. Student will complete one additional year of nursing education along with the required general education requirements.

In addition to the college application, these students must apply specifically to the nursing program.

Each element is based on Kansas Board of Regents Associate Degree Nursing program alignment requirements.
