Associate of Science Degree in Nursing
Registered Nurse Program
The College of the Redwoods’ Nursing Program is a four-semester, admission- by- application program approved
by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN). It is offered on the Eureka campus. Upon successful
completion of the Program, the College will award the candidate an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing and
recommend him/her as an eligible applicant for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nursing
(NCLEX-RN).

•
BIO 2 Microbiology
o
Science Prerequisite: BIOL-1; Co-requisite: CHEM-1A or CHEM-2
•
BIO 6 Human Anatomy
o
Science Prerequisite: Credit for or enrollment in BIOL-1
•
BIO 7 Human Physiology
o
Science Prerequisite: BIOL-1; BIOL-6; and CHEM-1A or CHEM-2
***It is your responsibility to be aware of all prerequisites for all courses, not just the science prerequisites noted
here. Please speak with an advisor for clarification regarding prerequisites for all courses.
An overall grade point average of 2.5 is required for Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, and Microbiology (BIO 2,
6 & 7). Note: Two “C”s + a “B” will NOT produce the needed 2.5 GPA. Grades of less than a C will not be accepted.
In addition, you cannot have more than one repetition each for any of these courses within the last five years.
You must have an overall GPA of 2.5 for all college level courses taken at CR or any other college or university in
order to be admitted to the nursing program.
A “W” grade is not considered a repetition. Title V regulations do not permit more than 3 repeats to raise a failing
grade. In addition, Title V regulations do not permit courses which have been passed with a “C” or better to be
repeated for GPA reasons. Finally, Title V regulations do not permit more than three “W”s for any one course.
Suggested Additional Courses to Take Prior to Beginning the Nursing Program:
It is strongly recommended that these required courses be taken prior to entering the nursing program because it
can be problematic to schedule them and/or complete them successfully once nursing courses start:
•
HO 15 Nutrition
•
Transfer-level Math (Gen Ed Area D3) (Math 15 Statistics recommended)
•
COMM 1, 6 or 7 (Area D2)
•
SOC 1, 2, or ANTH 3 (Gen Ed Area B)
•
PSYCH 1 OR PSYCH 11 (Gen Ed Area B)
•
Humanities (Gen Ed Area C, 3 Units)
General Education Requirements can change. It is your responsibility to understand your catalog rights and what it
means to lose them. It is also your responsibility to keep track of the General Education Requirements that are in
place when your catalog rights take effect. Note: Catalog rights are not protected by being on the program waitlist.
In addition, you are responsible for completing all academic prerequisites and co-requisites prior to each nursing
class so that you can graduate on time

General Information
1. Evaluation of the student nurse is based upon theoretical knowledge, nursing skill proficiency, and the
application of both of these in the clinical setting. To progress through and successfully complete and/or
and graduate from the program, students must achieve at least a grade of “C” in all nursing courses. In
addition, a cumulative 2.0 GPA must be maintained in all Nursing courses and General Education
requirements to earn the Associate Degree.
2. All students are required to complete a Background Check and Livescan. If a student’s background check
(criminal record) does not satisfy the requirements of any one clinical agency, or the clinical agency
refuses the student access to patients for any other reason, the Program will not be able to provide
alternate experiences and the student must withdraw from the Program or receive a grade of “F” for the
course.
3. All students are required to have a urine drug screen completed within the assigned time frame per
agency. The specific due dates for all requirements will be provided during orientation. Program
withdrawal may be required for positive drug screens. When taking a medication prescribed by a
healthcare provider that would appear as positive on the ten-panel drug urine test please contact the
Health Occupations Dept. prior to submitting a urine sample. Official documentation will be needed for
review. All information is confidential.
4. All nursing students must possess sufficient computer literacy skills to complete Internet research,
communicate by email, create electronic documents, manage data storage devices, and use web–based
instructional materials and applications. Those without these skills are encouraged to take CIS 1 prior to
enrollment in the nursing program.
5. At the completion of the Program, students must apply for licensure through the California Board of
Registered Nursing (BRN). As a part of the application process, all applicants are required to report any
disciplinary action against a professional license and/or any misdemeanor or felony convictions; certain
convictions may result in the denial of the applicant’s application, which then results in an inability to
obtain licensure as a registered nurse. The BRN handles each of these applicants on a case-by-case basis.
6. A waitlist is maintained for those applicants who are not awarded a seat in the program. Waitlisted
students are given priority the following year, according to their lottery number. The lottery places new
applicants at the bottom of the waitlist. All qualified applicants are notified by mail of their lottery
number by April 30
th.
Please Note: THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS ADMITTED TO THE ADN-RN PROGRAM IS DEPENDENT ON
FISCAL RESOURCES.
3
7. Students must notify the Health Occupations Office of any change in mailing address, phone number
and/or e-mail addresses. Changing your contact information through Web Advisor or the College does
not change it with this office. The Health Occupations Office uses your contact information to
communicate with you. If the Office does not have your current contact information (mailing address,
telephone number and/or email address), we cannot contact you and you risk losing your seat in the
program.
8. The demands of the nursing program are many; most students find it difficult to work more than part
time. Clinical scheduling, assignments, etc. cannot be altered due to an individual’s outside employment.
Financial Aid and Scholarships are available to help offset the need to work and the cost of attendance-
contact the Financial Aid and Scholarship Offices for more information. In addition, personal life issues
need to be in balance to be successful in the program. You must have reliable transportation, reliable
childcare (if applicable), and an ability to be punctual to assigned classes and clinical locations. Finally,
tardiness is not an acceptable performance standard in professional nursing, or this program.
9. Clinical labs are scheduled for varying day, evening, night, and/or weekend shifts. In addition, students
rotate to various clinical facilities throughout the college district (including Del Norte County) and are
required to provide their own transportation, childcare, etc., in order to attend clinical labs. Many
students car pool; limited childcare services are available at the Child Development Center.
10. Freedom from alcohol and/or drug abuse, and emotional illness that can jeopardize the student’s ability
to provide safe client care is essential. Students are advised (according to California Board of Registered
Nursing guidelines) to seek voluntary aid for conditions that could, if left unattended, lead to disciplinary
action and/or prevent licensure to practice nursing in California.
11. Estimated total Cost of the Program: APPROXIMATELY $7900*

a. Enrollment fee ($46/unit for California residents): $3,496
