SUNY Broome’s Nursing Department offers an Evening-Weekend (E/W) option for students to earn an AAS in Nursing and entry level Registered Nurse employment. Graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination – RN (NCLEX – RN).
In the Evening-Weekend Program option, students attend nursing class/lab two evenings a week and clinicals are scheduled every other weekend (Saturday and Sunday). The program is completed in three years. If a student needs to complete their general education co-requisites, the first two semesters will be full-time and the final four semesters are part-time.
Nursing Program graduates enter a highly favorable job market with many employment opportunities and an average entry salary of $73,000-$74,000 per year. Between 2021 and 2031, the national job outlook for Registered Nurses is projected to increase by 6%. Currently, the top employers of nurses include hospitals, physician offices, home health, and long-term care facilities.
