Nursing
Department
 The Nursing Program at County College
of Morris began in 1968. This
well-established program offers a balance of general education and
nursing courses to prepare men and women for entry
level Registered Nurse positions. The curriculum
provides selected laboratory experiences during
which students provide nursing care to patients in
hospitals and other health care facilities.
The nursing
courses cover medical/surgical,
obstetrics/pediatrics, and psychiatric nursing.
The Nursing Department offers both a day and
evening program. Although the nursing curriculum
is designed to be completed in four to six
semesters,
students may take longer to complete their degree
requirements depending on individual
circumstances.
Graduates of
the program are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN examination and upon successful completion are
licensed as Registered Nurses (R.N.) by the New
Jersey Board of Nursing. The Nursing Program at
the County College of Morris is accredited by the
State of New Jersey and the National League for
Nursing. The County College of Morris is
accredited by the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools. Our program has consistently
maintained NCLEX-RN passing rates of above 90%
which is above the state average. Note: Admission to the
program is determined by the Chairperson of the
Department of Nursing.
Credits are
readily transferable towards a 4 year nursing
degree, (BSN). Examples of programs that
accept our credits include the College of St.
Elizabeth and Rutgers University.
Questions regarding transfer can be directed to
the Transfer Office. Many of our graduates
have gone on to complete a BSN and other
advanced nursing degrees.
Complaints about
the program should be directed to the
Chairperson of the Nursing Department or to the NJ Board
