Program Note: Students are encouraged to see a Counselor for admission and application information for the Nursing program. Students are also encouraged to attend a Nursing Information Session which are held 1x per month, call 815 224-0439 for details. Although the program is designed to be completed in (4) semesters, it is highly recommended that students complete most, if not all non-nursing courses prior to the start of the first Nursing course. If not, all non-nursing, general educations courses, must be completed prior to or concurrently with the nursing courses with which they are listed in the curriculum pattern. Successful completion of a Certified Nursing Assistant (C.N.A.) Program and SFC 1000, Strategies for College are required for admission into the Nursing program. All nursing and non-nursing courses must be completed with a "C" or better. THM 1206 and 1216 can be substituted for BIO 1007, not 1008. BIO 1007 and 1008 may be substituted for BIO 1200 for the LPN program only. BIO 1009 and ALH 1000 may be substituted for ALH 1200 for the LPN program only. Nursing courses (NUR) are 8 weeks in length, 4 days a week. We do not have an evening or part-time program. PLEASE NOTE: The above excerpts have been taken from the "IVCC Nursing Handbook". Please refer to that document for all application, admission, and retention information. Beginning Fall 2009 all students will be required to have a criminal background check and a drug test prior to starting the program. A felony may prevent you from becoming licensed and/or working in a healthcare profession.
