The first step requires candidates to enroll in and successfully complete the pre-nursing prerequisite courses in Term 1 and 2. To enroll in these courses, applicants must:
- Be at least eighteen (18) years of age.

- Offer proof of U.S. citizenship or a green card.
- Provide proof of current, active, unencumbered LPN license*.
- Submit an official copy of their Practical Nursing transcript.
- Complete an aplication for enrollment.
- Satisfactorily pass a background check.
- Make an advance program deposit for tuition and fees. The deposit will be applied against the total tuition and fees of hte program that is in effect on the date of enrollment.
After pre-nursing students have completed 18 quarter credits of instruction, they may apply for admission into the Professional Nursing program. The admission process requires students to:
- Complete all of the general education and nursing support courses with a minimum grade of 75%.
- Provide proof of current, active, unencumbered LPN license.
- Provide proof of current certification in Basic Life Saving for Health Care Providers from the American Heart Association.
- Present evidence of good physical health (including a physical examination within the past six months) and documentation of fitness to work in health care.
- Present proof of current Mantoux test, Tetanus, Hepatitis B (or a waiver), laboratory titer evidence for rubella, varicella and rubeola, and other immunizations.
- Meet the technical standards for the program
Students meeting all of the above conditions will be considered for acceptance dependent upon space availability. If there are more students meeting the requirements than spaces available, students will be ranked and accepted into the program based on application responses, references, grades and other standards. Meeting the minimum criteria for admission does not guarantee admission into the Professional Nursing program.
* Graduates of the Center’s Practical Nursing program may start their pre-requisites prior to obtaining their LPN license. However, in order to be eligible for admission into the Professional Nursing program they must obtain their LPN license prior to completion of their pre-requisites.
