Two major entry points are offered. The first is at the beginning level for individuals with no experience in nursing education. A new class is admitted each fall quarter. Secondly, LPNs may enter the Advanced Placement Program without having to repeat course material already mastered. Transfer students are accommodated as there is space available.
Placement is based on individual evaluation of past education.
Exit points are provided at the Practical Nurse Certificate and Associate Degree in Applied Science in Nursing levels. Individuals completing requirements of each level are eligible to take State Board Licensure exams leading to licensure as LPNs and RNs. The primary goal of the nursing programs is to produce graduates prepared for entry-level positions in practical nurse and registered nurse roles. Pre-Nursing Students are encouraged to take the Nursing program required academic classes before entering the nursing program. It is especially helpful to have the science classes completed before entry.
