PITTSFIELD, Mass — Berkshire Community College has set a final opportunity on Monday, Aug. 30 at 5 p.m. to attend a mandatory Nursing Information Session for students ready to enroll in the spring 2022 Associate's Degree in Nursing (ADN) cohort. 

 

To RSVP, visit www.berkshirecc.edu/nursinginfo. The deadline to submit a complete matriculation form is  Wednesday, Sept. 1. 

 

The nursing program is recognized as one of the top ten nursing programs in the commonwealth, according to Nursing Schools Almanac's 2020 rankings. The ADN program at BCC is approved by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing and is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN). 

 

"Nurses are a critical part of the healthcare system and of the community," said admissions counselor Eleanore Velez. "In Berkshire County, nurses are in high demand. Our robust nursing programs prepare our students for entering the workforce immediately or continuing their education to earn a bachelor of science degree." 

 

In addition to the ADN program, BCC also offers a licensed practical nursing to ADN bridge program, which is part of the college's Educational Mobility initiative. This opportunity is designed to help students who have completed their Practical Nursing Certificate join the Associate Degree in Nursing program with relative ease. The deadline for the spring 2022 bridge cohort is Monday, Nov. 1.
