The purpose of the Crowder College Nursing program is to prepare graduates who can demonstrate entry-level competencies as registered nurses, to provide a foundation for continued learning, and to provide a multiple-entry program where licensed practical nurses can enter with advanced standing or students may enter with no previous nursing education. The program is approved by the Missouri State Board of Nursing and is accredited through the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN). Graduation from the nursing program does not guarantee eligibility to write the licensure exam. Eligibility is determined on an individual basis by the Missouri State Board of Nursing based on the Missouri Nursing Practice Act section 335.066 (1-14) or as recognized by the state in which the graduate desires to license. The nursing faculty strongly believes that the learner must be an active participant in the educational process.
