Welcome to the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program at Wallace Community College. We are committed to providing students with a learning environment that is conducive to personal growth. Students are involved as active participants in a variety of guided learning experiences.
Students are fostered by the nursing faculty as they endeavor to reach their optimal potential. As experiences progress from simple to complex, the responsibility of learning is upon the student. Planning, implementation, and evaluation of the curriculum are the responsibility of the nursing faculty.
The Associate Degree Nursing Handbook has been developed to provide information about the nursing program; to clarify policies and to foster communication between students and faculty. It is imperative that the student becomes familiar with this information. Unless otherwise designated in a nursing course syllabus, these policies apply to each nursing course in which you enroll. If, for any reason, routine progression through the program is interrupted, policies in the Student Handbook and College Catalog at the time of readmission will apply.
The WCC College Catalog / Student Handbook (College Catalog) contains additional program information, as well as information and policies of the College. Students in the ADN program must abide by the policies of both the College Catalog and the ADN Student Handbook. Students accepted into the ADN program are responsible for the information in each of the aforementioned documents. Re-reading the College Catalog and ADN Student Handbook each semester is strongly recommended.
