Dear Prospective Nursing Student,
What an exciting time in nursing and in education! As educators,
part of our role is to provide well-educated nurses to the public we
serve. Another important aspect is our obligation to give each
student an optimal chance of reaching his/her goal. We have
structured our admission process to help select the most qualified
applicants and offer each student the greatest potential of success.
Significant considerations of the process are:
• A designated period of application each year.
• A ranking system that considers time-proven elements of success.
• A system that allows each applicant opportunities to increase
his/her ranking.
