Collaborative Nursing Education Continuum Model (CNECM)
| SSU Nursing | CNECM Home |
WELCOME to the site of the Collaborative Nursing Education Continuum Model (CNECM)! This is a joint nursing education project of the nursing programs at
Sonoma State University
College of Marin
Mendocino College
Napa Valley College
Santa Rosa Junior College
Solano Community College
The project aims to streamline the ADN to BSN to MSN education pathway by eliminating overlaps and clearly identifying degree requirements at all educational levels. The educational plan “roadmaps” that are being developed will assist students, early in their collegiate education, to effectively chart their continuing professional nursing education from the ADN to the BSN and to the MSN. Recent updates to the BSN curriculum have also streamlined the educational pathway for already licensed California RNs to achieve the BSN at SSU.
The CNECM supports an educational continuum model that allows qualified ADN students to enroll in BSN courses at Sonoma State University while obtaining the Associate Degree in Nursing at their home community college. By so doing, ADN students may complete one-third (8 units) of the required upper division nursing coursework (24 units) for the BSN at SSU while enrolled in the ADN program. ADN students with a BA/BS in a field other than nursing may complete 6 units of required coursework while obtaining their ADN and be eligible to begin MSN coursework at SSU upon graduation from their ADN program.
Enrollment in this educational pathway is limited to students currently enrolled in ADN programs at the CNECM community colleges listed above. If you expect to graduate from any ADN program in less than one calendar year or are already a California Registered Nurse, other nursing educational pathways tracks are available at SSU that may be more appropriate.
