Nurse Assistant
The Highland certified nurse assistant program (Cert.) curriculum
will prepare students to take the state certificate exam for nursing
assistants. Upon successful completion of the exam, students may
work as nursing assistants. The CNA program provides a foundation
for all other nursing programs at HCC. Students learn valuable direct
care skills. This certification program is offered every semester,
including the summer session, at the main campus in Freeport. It
is also offered at off-campus sites.
Associate
Degree in Nursing
This (AAS) degree prepares students to take the the National Council
Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). Upon successful completion of
the exam, the student is eligible to become licensed as a registered
nurse (RN).
Earn
your ADN at night.
Because evening ADN students only have classes and practicum
on weekday evenings, you can balance work, college, and family
responsibilities with our ADN evening program. Pre-requisites
must be completed prior to entry into the ADN program. All
pre-requisites are also offered after 5 p.m.
This
evening program was developed by Highland and FHN health care
systems to address the shortage of skilled nursing professionals
and is the only evening ADN program in the tri-state area
of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois.

Practical Nursing
The practical nursing program (Cert.) prepares students to take
the NCLEX-PN exam. Upon successful completion of the exam, the student
is eligible to become licensed as a practical nurse (LPN). HCC,
aware of the need for knowledgeable professionals in this popular
career, offers this one-year program every fall.
