Whats an ADN? The term ADN stands for Associate's Degree in Nursing. It's a two-year program, predominantly offered at community colleges. The ADN program can lead to an Associate's in Science (AS) or an Associate's in Applied Science (AAS) degree. It's seen as an entry to the nursing profession, enabling graduates to qualify for initial licensing as a registered professional nurse (RN) upon passing the NCLEX-RN exam and meeting other necessary state board requirements. What's a PN? PN stands for Practical Nursing, it is a shorter, more hands-on program that can last anywhere from 10-18 months. In some regions, such as California and Texas, it's also referred to as vocational nursing. Although PN programs don't usually involve college credits, they may lead to an associate's degree. Completion of a PN program, meeting state board requirements, and passing the NCLEX-PN grants the privilege of a license as an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse). ADN vs PN Here's a summary of the differences between the two nursing career paths: ADN (Associate's Degree in Nursing) PN (Practical Nursing) Program Duration Approx. 2 years 10-18 months Degree Associate's in Science (AS) or Associate's in Applied Science (AAS) Usually a certificate or diploma, but some may lead to an associate's degree Preparation for Registered Professional Nurse Licensed Practical Nurse Licensing Exam NCLEX-RN NCLEX-PN Education Level Collegiate, with a balance of theory and practice Vocational, with a strong emphasis on practical skills Scope of Practice May supervise and delegate to LPNs and unlicensed assistive personnel Varies by state; some may have more limitations than others Coursework Includes Fundamentals, adult medical-surgical, mental health, obstetrics/maternity, pediatrics, geriatrics, nursing process, and pharmacology, along with college co-requisites like English, humanities, Microbiology, nutrition, anatomy & physiology, chemistry, psychology, sociology, and statistics A&P, basic Microbiology, pharmacology, nutrition, pediatrics, obstetrics/maternity, geriatrics, mental health, med-surg, fundamentals, nursing process, with a greater focus on practical skills
