Online Associate Degree Nursing Program

William T. Hiering Science Building

Ocean County College received a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation grant to develop an online education model to address shortages of RNs in the hospital setting, and to create New Jersey’s first online Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program[citation needed]. Although there are many online RN to BSN and MSN programs, there are very few online programs at the ADN level.

The program allows those currently employed in the health care field to complete an RN program by attending class only one day per week (primarily on-site in host health care institutions) supplemented by online instruction. By providing educational experiences online, and by taking advantage of space already available at local hospitals, dependence on classroom space at the college is decreased. The program pioneers innovative online delivery modes in teaching and learning, and is designed to attract individuals who could not otherwise pursue nursing studies while working full-time. The goal is to graduate 60 more RNs per year. This should be an extremely effective means of reducing the critical shortage of nurses in New Jersey. In November 2006 the OCC One Day per Week Nursing Program received a President's Award from the New Jersey Public Health Association honoring this online nursing program for helping to reduce the nursing shortage in New Jersey.
