ADMISSION TO THE NURSING PROGRAM
The academic standards for the WSCC nursing programs have been established for the ultimate purpose of preparing well educated nurses who succeed on the licensure examination and become valued employees who can be proud of the quality of their work. The standards are the result of collaborative efforts among nursing faculty, college personnel, and nurse employers. In the development process, the requirements of the State Board of Nursing have been met and consistency of standards with other schools of nursing has been maintained.
Each nursing student must meet college requirements for progression and graduation. See WSCC Catalog.
Admission to the nursing program is based on successful completion of the following requirements:
-
Submit an Application for Admission to WSCC.
