It's hard to imagine a more essential and rewarding career than nursing. Delta College's competitive Registered Nursing program will prepare you with the knowledge, hands-on skills, and clinical experience to succeed in healthcare.
Graduates of this two-year program receive an Associate of Science degree in Nursing and are prepared to take state licensing exams to practice as a registered nurse. Delta grads had a 100 percent pass rate in 2024-25, a testament to the quality of this program.
This career can be rewarding, flexible, and challenging. The majority of RNs work in acute care, providing direct care to patients with a variety of medical conditions. You should have a fairly good aptitude for math and science, good communication skills, and be comfortable working closely with people. Registered nurses find work in hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools, insurance companies, and other healthcare environments.
Admission is competitive and prerequisites are required.

Healing Helping Medicine NursingHear from Delta Nursing Students
I’ve always wanted to work in healthcare. My mom is a nurse so I was always exposed to that. I just feel like you have the opportunity to help people in their most vulnerable state, and I want to be that person for someone else. And of course there’s always a demand for nurses so I’ll always have a job pretty much anywhere I go.

Education is never too late for anybody. No matter what your past is, no matter what your previous job is. No matter how old you are. No matter how difficult the financial situation you’re in. If you want to change your career, you can do it. Especially at Delta.
