The Transitions in Nursing Associate of Science degree is a sequence of courses designed to prepare a licensed practical nurse or licensed paramedic to merge into the role of a registered nurse. The curriculum is designed to produce highly trained, technically advanced, competent, and caring individuals who are prepared to practice professional nursing in a variety of healthcare settings. The purpose of the program is to provide the learner with the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to practice competently and safely as a novice professional in a healthcare environment. The registered nurse is viewed as a caring holistic professional who possesses accountability, critical thinking, integrity, problem-solving skills, refined psychomotor skills, and a theoretical knowledge base. Program graduates receive an Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) degree and are then eligible to apply and take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Upon successful completion of the NCLEXRN and licensure by the Georgia Board of Nursing, graduates may obtain employment as a professional registered nurse.
