Students need to complete all of the curriculum requirements and obtain a minimum GPA of 2.5 in order to graduate and receive the Diploma.
Students have a maximum of three (3) years to complete the program, beginning with enrollment in the first nursing course.
Students in the Practical Nursing curriculum need to achieve the following:
- Completion of all developmental and ESL courses with grades of C' or betterbefore entering the first nursing course.
- A minimum grade of C+' and satisfactory clinical performance in all PNU courses.
- A minimum GPA of 2.5 for admission and continuation in the program.
- Successful completion of all of the prior semester courses before moving on to the next semester in the curriculum.
- A minimum grade of C' in all required College credit level course work BIO 102 (or BIO 105/106), ENG 101 (or ENG 111/112), PSY 101, PSY 205, and elective.
- The sequence of BIO 105 (Anatomy & Physiology I) and BIO 106 (Anatomy & Physiology II) may be used in place of BIO 102. If only BIO 105 is completed, BIO 106 may be taken concurrently with PNU 110, but must be completed prior to enrollment in PNU 120.
- If ENG 112 is required, it is to be completed or taken concurrently with PNU 110.
The Practical Nursing Program Student Handbook addresses specific policies and procedures, such as health requirements, for students enrolled in the nursing program. This Handbook is available for applicants, upon request of the Program secretary, and is provided to all students enrolled in the Program. Specific information on readmission, appeals, and student concerns is found in the Practical Nursing Program Student Handbook. Complaints regarding the Program may be addressed to the Board of Nursing.
The Nursing Program, as a department of Union County College, adheres to the majority of the College's documented policies and procedures. There are instances, however, when the Nursing Program has established its own policies and procedures in order to meet the special needs of the curriculum.
Students must be knowledgeable about their rights and responsibilities within the Nursing Program and the College. Every student is advised to become familiar with the Practical Nursing Program Handbook, Union County College Student Handbook, the Union County College Catalog and other college publications.
