Attendance at a required Nursing Open House Potential students should schedule an interview with the Admissions Office for evaluation and advisement. Many health care organizations require students practicing in their agencies to receive the Hepatitis B vaccination or sign a declination statement as a condition of practicing in the facility. The Hepatitis B vaccination is a safe and effective method of preventing Hepatitis B infection. Questions about this health facility vaccination requirement should be directed to the College Health Nurse. Because of the limited number of spaces available in the RN program, a student s previous academic performance will be the main factor considered if the selection becomes competitive.
Preference is given to Cayuga County residents if all other factors are equal.
January 15 is the deadline for fall applicants if selection is limited due to a large number of inquiries. Potential students should note that legal limitations exist for state licensure and that licensure may not be granted to candidates with felonies, misdemeanors or professional conduct charges. Advanced Academic Standing for RN Program Credit for advanced standing by transfer will be granted after satisfactory academic and clinical evaluation by the Cayuga nursing faculty. Acceptance for advanced standing is competitive and attainable only on a space available basis. Work experience not required.
