This cooperative program is offered between HCCC and Bayonne Medical Center School of Nursing (BMCSON) or Christ Hospital School of Nursing (CHSON).  Students complete their general education and science courses at HCCC and the nursing/clinical courses at one of the two schools of nursing.

The Cooperative Nursing Program includes a theoretical base of general education and science courses together with a range of nursing theory and practical course designed to prepare graduates to be eligible for the State licensure examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).

Graduates of the Cooperative Nursing Program must pass the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses in order to practice Nursing.

Students who successfully complete this program will be awarded an Associate in Science Degree from Hudson County Community College and a Diploma in Nursing from their respective School of Nursing.  Graduates of the Program may enter into upper division BSN Nursing programs through articulation agreements at many four-year institutions.
