Welcome to JSCC Nursing
Welcome and thank you for your interest in Jefferson State’s Registered Nursing program. It is our mission to prepare students to enter the nursing work force with an entry level nursing degree. We offer the Associate in Applied Science degree and prepare students to take the national licensure examination for registered nurses (NCLEX). We have four campuses that offer full-time courses and an evening program option to fit a variety of student needs.
Before you Apply
Be sure to go through our “So you want to be a nurse?” checklist to make sure you’re putting your best foot forward when applying to the JSCC Nursing Program. We also encourage attendance at one of the online sessions. Sessions will take place in February, April, and September. Attendees may attend any session regardless of which campus or program they plan to apply (you must register to attend a session). Registration is required and registration must include a valid email address. If you are a current JSCC student, the email address must be your JSCC email. Attendance must be confirmed to receive one point towards admission ranking.
