Students will receive a letter acknowledging their acceptance into the program with additional information on a mandatory orientation session before the start of classes. At the orientation, students will be provided information on health requirements, background/drug screening, clinical requirements, uniforms, etc.
Students who are not accepted may want to apply for the next admission of the same program if they are certain it is what they want. Students may be counseled about how to improve their ranking chances for the next admission. They may also receive information on other programs that they may be interested in attending.
Each PN course has a clinical component ranging from six to nine hours per week. Clinical experiences take place in area hospitals and long-term care facilities. Students will be assigned to various agencies to get a broad range of clinical experience. The times/days for clinical experiences are dictated by the clinical agencies. For these reasons, students cannot request a specific location, time, or day for their experiences. Every student needs to have transportation and be willing to travel to the assigned location.
