he courses that you will need to take prior to being considered for the Practical Nursing program depend on which level that you test in at on the College Placement test. If you test into remedial courses in English and Math, you will be required to take developmental courses which are geared toward helping you be successful in the Nursing Program.
The requirements for the Nursing Program are listed below. These courses must be completed with a grade of ‘C” or better before you are considered for acceptance into the program:
S-DC offers a variety of different financial aid programs to help with the cost of the program. For more information, follow up with the Office of Financial Aid.
Acceptance letters are sent after all of the applications are completed. Typically, you will receive your letter approximately 1 month before the date of the start of the nursing program. You will need to complete all of the required health clearances, drug screen, and criminal background check prior to the start of the nursing program.
Prior instances of criminal behavior (both misdemeanors and felonies) are taken into serious consideration when reviewing the applicant’s qualifications. If your criminal background check is positive for a felony, you will not be considered for the program.
Nursing courses are taught during the day. Nursing clinicals are taught between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. and may be scheduled any day of the week around the clinical site availability.
