Nursing Program Philosophy: The core of the Inver Hills MANE Nursing program belief system is to provide a quality student-centered education which promotes life-long learning. Faculty believes in facilitating an intellectual learning environment through the use of evidence based practice, innovative teaching strategies, and role modeling.
Students and faculty advocate for the community; understanding the diverse needs of the people we serve. We believe health is a dynamic process that differentiates individually and collectively. We believe nursing uses integrative knowledge and caring that requires a holistic approach embracing the dignity and strength of each individual.
Educational mobility: The MANE curriculum is designed as a dual admission Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degree program with the option to graduate with an Associate of Science (A.S.) in Nursing after completing 75 credits.
You will be eligible to apply and register for the NCLEX-RN licensure exam after completing five semesters (Benchmark-curriculum plan). Once you graduate with your A.S. degree, you may choose to re-enter the program after obtaining licensure to complete your B.S.N.
As a student in the Nursing Mobility (Licensed Practical Nurse) A.S. degree program, you will complete the required Nursing curriculum (35 credits) and the General Education Curriculum (40 credits) for a credit total of 75.
The Nursing Program is approved by the Minnesota Board of Nursing and accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing.
Note: If you have been arrested, charged or convicted of any criminal offense, you should investigate the impact that the arrest, charge or conviction may have on your chances of employment in the field you intend to study or on your chances to obtain federal, state and other higher education financial aid.
To complete the requirements of the course students will need to receive a criminal background clearance. Please refer to the Criminal Background section of the catalog for more information on the criminal background study.
