TSJC Nursing Admission Application

TSJC Nursing admission Criteria


 

adn.jpg

The TSJC Nursing Program is an Associate Degree Nursing Program designed to provide education to prepare the student for the NCLEX-RN.  The student does have the PN exit option if they are desiring a Practical Nurse Certificate.  The number of students admitted to the nursing program is limited.  Admission to the program is competitive and is based upon several factors:  GPA for pre-requisites; TEAS score; completion of additional required courses; Nurse Aide certification; previous degree. A waitlist of students meeting admission criteria will be maintained in the order in which application with verification of admission criteria are received.  Students will be admitted into the program based upon their admission score.   A waiting list will be maintained if there are more applicants meeting admission criteria than available space in the class.Nursing Graduates

Upon successful completion of the first two semesters of the Nursing Program, the student may opt to take the Practical Nursing Transition course to receive a Practical Nurse Certificate and be eligible for the NCLEX-PN.          

Course for the Nursing Program includes classroom, lab, simulation and clinical experiences.  This requires additional expense related to assigned courses, e.g. medical examinations, background check, liability insurance, supplemental standardized testing, technology, uniforms, meals and travel to clinical sites.  All expenses are the students’ responsibility.
