Foothills Nursing Consortium Applicants: Please be advised that this is the last year that applications will be accepted for the Foothills Nursing Consortium. This next cohort will begin in August 2021 and will graduate in May 2023. In January 2022, students will apply to the Associate Degree Nursing program of the individual community colleges: Cleveland Community College, Isothermal Community College or McDowell Technical Community College. Any student who gets off track for completion while admitted to the Foothills Nursing Consortium will need to reapply to their respective community college and complete there.
The Associate Degree Nursing curriculum provides knowledge, skills, and strategies to integrate safety and quality into nursing care, to practice in a dynamic environment, and to meet individual needs which impact health, quality of life, and achievement of potential. Course work includes and builds upon the domains of healthcare, nursing practice, and the holistic individual. Content emphasizes the nurse as a member of the interdisciplinary team providing safe, individualized care while employing evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. Graduates of this program are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). Employment opportunities are vast within the global health care system and may include positions within acute, chronic, extended, industrial, and community health care facilities.
