No because El Paso Community College is a 2 year college which offers an Associate degree. You will have to transfer from there to a 4 year school, and there you will receive a Bachelor degree which is needed to be an RN.
YES! EPCC has a 2 year RN degree program. You do graduate with an associates but as long as you pass the state board exam you will be an RN.
I don't know why these other people are telling no and that you must go to a 4 year college, but there are many people who graduated from EPCC and working at local hospitals as RN's.
I should know because I myself is a nursing student there going on my second year. Besides they wouldn't call it an RN program if they didn't have one.
The community college RN degree includes an Associate of Science degree while the university program requires 4 years and earns you a Bachelor of Science Degree. It depends if you want to work bedside nursing or qualify for supervisory roles in nursing.
If you are asking if there is an "RN program" contact the college. If you are asking about an RN-Degree program, which is a BS degree with a major in professional nursing that has to be earned at a 4-year university. There are 2-year and 3-year "RN" programs available at community colleges.
