Pre-Nursing and Allied Health

Career Studies Certificate                                        Printable PDF Version

 

Purpose:  The Pre-Nursing and Allied Health Career Studies Certificate (CSC) program is designed to help prepare students for admission to the Nursing and other allied health AAS degree programs at JSRCC. These programs include Dental Laboratory Technology, Opticianry, Medical Laboratory Technology, Emergency Medical Services – Paramedic, and Respiratory Therapy.  Students enrolled in this CSC program are not yet accepted into the Nursing or Allied Health AAS degree programs, but are completing their general education and pre-requisite courses.  After completing this CSC, students will need to apply for admission to their program of study.

Occupational Objectives: This program is designed to prepare students to succeed in the nursing or chosen allied health program.  Completion of this certificate does not guarantee admission into those programs.  Students enrolled in this CSC are encouraged to meet with their respective program advisor after completing their first semester courses.

Admission Requirements: General college curricular admission

Program Notes: This program takes new students in the spring, summer, and fall semesters of each year.

Computer Competency Requirement: Students in this program will meet the college’s computer competency requirement by successfully completing ITE 115. Students can also meet this requirement by passing the college’s computer competency exam, administered in the testing centers on each campus, in which case they will receive college credit for ITE 115. Those students not passing the computer competency exam may retake the exam only once.

The following curriculum is required for those students seeking entrance into the Nursing AAS degree program.
