About this Program at SOCH

Student at laptop computer in the One Day per Week Registered Nurse Program at the Southern Ocean County HospitalThe 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.

Image of nursing students at the Southern Ocean County HospitalParticipants 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.

Students with disabilities

Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact the Center for Academic Services for additional assistance.
