at Broward College

The Associate of Science Degree in Nursing is designed to prepare the student for a career as a registered nurse. The mission of the Broward College Program of Nursing is to prepare competent, caring, culturally sensitive, entry level nursing graduates for meaningful employment as professional registered nurses.
