The number of unfilled spaces for each
class is determined by availability of faculty and clinical facilities.
Students may also enter the program by
transferring from another practical nursing program or as re-entry as space
allows.
 |
Re-entry students are those who
successfully completed nursing courses, but separated from the program within the last
three years. |
|
Transfer students are those who
left another nursing program and are seeking to
enroll with or without advanced placement in the PCCUA program.
 |
Transfer students will not
receive an application for admission to the PN program until the
PN Program Coordinator receives a letter of good standing from
the Director/Chair/Dean of the program from which the student is
transferring. Good standing is defined as being eligible for
enrollment in the program from which the student is
transferring. |
|
Transfer students must contact
the PN Program Coordinator to discuss placement in the
program.
