Professional Committment — is it for me?
Accepting placement in the Citrus College ADN program affirms your dedication, attention, and energies to the study of nursing with the intent to succeed. Before you accept a position as a Citrus College nursing student, understand that you are expected to answer these questions affirmatively:
- Am I a responsible individual?
- Will I be at theory and clinical classes on time?
- Am I able to report to any assigned clinical site?
- Will I hand my assignments in on time?
- Do I have access to reliable transportation?
- Will I study and perform to the best of my ability?
- Will I maintain the nursing program standards of professional dress and conduct?
The Citrus College ADN program schedule of classes, skills lab, and clinical assignments vary from semester to semester. Because of the scheduling, extensive reading, research, and homework assignments, it is highly recommended that students do not try to work full-time while attending the program. Also, you must understand that anything which changes your education plan (travel, illness, marriage, childbirth, family or personal crisis, etc.) may jeopardize your ability to focus on your nursing education.
Program Costs
An estimate of costs associated with entry and completion of the nursing program is provided in the table below. It is CRUCIAL for the student accepted in the Citrus College ADN program to have the monetary resources to start and complete the program. It is the student's responsibility to research their options (i.e., scholarships, grants, loans, etc.) before they are accepted into the program. Substantial portions of the costs are incurred in the first semester. Not included are the approximate costs of travel to and from clinical locations, and costs such as those associated with childcare. The student should realistically plan for these costs, as they can be substantial.
The following items listed will need to be completed or obtained at the student's expense. These are estimated program costs for
California residents only (fees subject to change).
NOTE: Be advised the estimated costs provided here are as accurate as possible at time of publication and are subject to change. Please contact the
associate degree nursing office for current information.
