Notes:

• Nursing courses are only offered in the day during 12-week sessions with the exception of the PN to RN Pathway course- work.
• All students must file for Registered Nursing Candidacy (Intent to Nursing) in order to progress to the clinical phase. To be considered for the RN program, students must register for the candidacy in either the Fall I or Spring I session immediately preceding the semester they plan to begin the clinical courses.
• No grade lower than “C” will be accepted for any required Math and Science course. Science courses in which students earn a “C-,” “D+,” “D,” or “D-” may be repeated with permission of the Chairperson of the Natural Sciences Department. When Key Courses with grades of “C-,” “D+,” “D,” “D-,” or “F” are repeated, both course grades will be calculated in the Key Course average.
• A minimum grade of C+ is required in a clinical course that is repeated.
• Students should consult with a counselor and/or faculty advisor in the selection of elective courses to ensure maximum transferability of credits taken. Clinical courses are only transferable to senior colleges upon successful completion of the AAS degree.

PN to Nursing Pathway: Licensed practical nurses may be eligible for an advanced standing pathway, which may exempt them from the first year of required designated nursing courses. The Pathway requires PN licensure and successfully passing the NYS Coalition for Educational Mobility’s Transition Course before applying for the 3-credit Bridge Course which begins the Pathway track into the final year of the Nursing Program leading to the AAS degree. Further information on Pathway articulation and admission is available in the Registered Nursing Student Hand-book
