<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The CON strongly recommends that the following courses are taken prior to submitting an application for admission:

<ul>

<li>College Biology</li>

<li>Medical Terminology</li>

</ul>

 

       <li>Document current RN licensure allowing practice in the state where clinicals will be conducted. Provisional admission may be granted to students who apply prior to obtaining licensure, but licensure will be required prior to beginning coursework.</li>

<!-- Section 5 -->

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">To be admitted into the nursing programs, the following criteria must also be met:

   <li>Have a grade no lower than a C+ (or satisfactory AP, CLEP, Dantes, P/NP) in any individual prerequisite course. In institutions that do not provide 'plusses or minuses,' the next highest grade is required. A maximum of 12 credit hours can be non-graded (e.g.: AP, CLEP, Dantes, P/NP).</li>

   <li>Provisional admission may be granted to applicants for the RN-BSN program who meet admission criteria.</li>

<!-- Section 6 -->

   <li>Student’s prioritized campus preference(s).</li>

<!-- Item 7 starts here -->

     <li>Verification of current certification valid for the academic year in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) for health professionals. This is defined as Basic Life Support (BLS) for infant, child and adult one man/two man and AED training. Verification of current CPR must be documented annually through graduation. American Heart Association is the preferred certifying agency; further, many clinical agencies require American Heart Association CPR certification.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Students will <span style="text-decoration:underline;">not</span> be allowed to enroll in or attend clinical nursing courses without meeting clinical agency TB, immunization and BLS requirements.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Drug screening tests may be required prior to clinical placement at the discretion of the clinical agencies.</li>
