Nursing (MANE): Traditional (RN) Track or LPN to RN Track
Program Information
Anoka-Ramsey Community College is a member of the Minnesota Alliance for Nursing Education (MANE), an alliance of Minnesota nursing programs dedicated to increasing the educational capacity for baccalaureate education. The MANE program is a shared, concept-based baccalaureate curriculum, based on a set of core competencies, intended to prepare graduates to provide care to individuals, families and communities in health promotion, acute or chronic illness, and at the end of life. This shared curriculum provides a seamless transition from associate to baccalaureate nursing education.
The program is designed as four years of full-time study, with the first two semesters devoted to prerequisite/preparatory courses required for admission to the nursing program. Successful completion of five semesters leads to the option for an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing offered by Anoka-Ramsey Community College and eligibility to take the NCLEX-RN licensure examination. The MANE curriculum continues for three additional semesters leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing (BSN) offered by Metropolitan State University. It is intended that all courses will be offered at Anoka-Ramsey Community College campus. Please note that Nursing courses at Anoka-Ramsey are offered daytime only.

Changes to the nursing program on Coon Rapids and Cambridge Campuses
Anoka-Ramsey has been awarded funding to complete the modernization and expansion of the Nursing and Business building on the Coon Rapids Campus. In addition, enlargement and expansion of the Nursing classrooms, labs, and simulation spaces will be done on the Cambridge Campus. The construction will enable the nursing curriculum to be supported by the physical spaces needed to educate contemporary Nursing students to meet the needs of the ever-expanding workforce. This includes an emphasis on the importance of simulation (SIM) labs. The optimized physical space will allow active learning of skills and the application of nursing theory that are needed to be successful in the health care industry. Aligning simulation spaces with practicum environments and hands-on learning labs in a contiguous area will enhance learning efficiencies and effectiveness.
What does this mean for students entering the program now? The construction is set to begin in May of 2021 and be completed by August of 2022. During the construction and remodeling the nursing department will continue to use current and newly created lab and simulation spaces. The theory portion of the classes will remain online as they have been through the COVID-19 pandemic until the newly remodeled and expanded space opens in August of 2022.
We look forward to serving even more students with the remodeling of our Nursing spaces in an environment that supports active learning in the classroom and hands-on skills and simulation experiences in state-of-the -art facilities.
