If you’re a high school student planning to pursue an associate’s degree in nursing (ADN), the Early Start Nursing Program can help you get a head start. By beginning as early as your sophomore year, you can complete required courses early and potentially enter core nursing courses by your junior year.
Requirements to Enter Core Nursing Courses:
- Meet with Brooke Marcue, Dual Enrollment Student Success Specialist, to express interest in the Early Start Nursing Program
- Completion of Chemistry with a C or better (both semesters of high school Chemistry or Foundations of Chemistry)
- Passed the HESI Exam
- Meet with Pauline Wetter, Nursing Advisor
These requirements should be completed by April 1st if planning to register for Core Nursing Courses in the upcoming Fall semester.
There is required travel in this program to Southwest Tech’s Fennimore campus as well as clinical sites. Please note that some clinical/classes could be more than 1 day per week.
For financial support, consider enrolling in the CESA 3 Youth Apprenticeship program.
