About this Program at SOCH
 The program is designed so that all classroom, laboratory and clinical face-to-face learning experiences are delivered in a single day of the week and primarily within Southern Ocean County Hospital, allowing the students to keep their employment in healthcare. Online
components to the didactic (classroom) portions
of the entire nursing curriculum allow significant
portions of the courses to be taught in a web-assisted
manner, giving students major improvements in
access and learning.
This
program of study is designed
for people who are employed or have significant family responsibilities and wish
to undertake professional study
leading to a Registered Nurse
license. The nature of their
employment (multiple shifts per
week that are lengthy in nature)
has been incompatible with a
traditional program of study.
 Participants are strongly recommended to complete the Colleges'
general education studies requirements before entering the One Day per Week RN Program at SOCH. They may continue their employment while attending an extended one day per week program, spread
over a two-year period. Classes and clinical experiences will be web-assisted
and provide a learner centered environment that is partially self-directed.
The clinical experience, face-to-face colloquium, and nursing laboratory are offered on a scheduled day during the week (currently Fridays). However, students are expected to arrive either early in the morning (5 A.M.) or the evening before, to pick up their clinical assignments and prepare their patient research. Additionally, students must schedule time to practice their skills in a nursing skills laboratory which is available days and evenings Monday through Friday and on Saturday mornings.
Students who are outstanding scholars and not employed in health care will also be considered.
