Twice. Fall and Spring semesters.
Not required, however, if transferring from another nursing school, must have a letter of academic and clinical good standing.
Not necessarily. It is sometimes more important that you get a good college preparation program in high school. Frequently, students do take nurse aid type courses in high school at the expense of getting chemistry, algebra, and other critical science and math courses which is sometimes a detriment to getting accepted into registered nursing programs. However, work experience may help you better decide about your nursing career.
Final acceptance occurs following posting of course grades and review; approximately June 1 for Fall Admission and December 27 for Spring Admission.
