Licensure
Successful completion of Jamestown Community College’s A.A.S. program in Nursing is sufficient for meeting the educational requirements for licensure in New York and licensure in Pennsylvania as a nurse. Successful completion of the program may also be sufficient for meeting the educational requirements for licensure or certification in other states, but this has not been determined by Jamestown Community College. Enrolled students and prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact their states’ certification entity to review all licensure and certification requirements imposed by that state. As there are many state and other jurisdictions, each with its own requirements, students should consult NCSBN, which is a centralized source for information about nursing licensure criteria.More Nursing A.A.S. program credentials »
