Registered Nurses (RNs) work as respected health professionals who help people stay healthy or get healthy. RNs provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients, and provide advice and emotional support to patients and their families. RNs work in hospitals, private homes, nursing homes, schools, and correctional facilities and often lead a team of other healthcare providers. The Institute of Medicine is encouraging all RNs to obtain bachelor’s degrees by 2020 and WSCC has multiple articulation agreements with four‐year universities allowing for transferability of classes.

Admission into Nursing Program is by competitive selection. Students must earn at least a 75% grade average in each course to continue in the program, but must earn a 2.7 (B‐) in BIO 232 .  Students must have completed first-year at WSCC (see Nursing - LPN Certificate and/or Level 1 of RN - AAAS) or possess Practical Nursing Licensure and have ANP 230  and  ANP 231  in the past eight years in order to be admitted to the program.  BIO 232 , PHL 104 , POL 151 , COM 110  or COM 206  may be completed prior to the program.  A limited number of students are admitted on a part-time basis.
