1. General college admission requirements.

2. Current CPR for the Professional Rescuer certification is a prerequisite to admission and must be maintained throughout the program.

3. Current, unrestricted license to practice as an LPN in the state of North Carolina is a prerequisite to admission and must be maintained throughout the program.

4. Completion of NUR 133 Nursing Assessment is a prerequisite to admission and must be taken within 1 year of admission.

6. The clinical site may require a criminal background check and/or drug testing prior to participation in the clinical component. If any clinical facility refuses to allow the student to participate in clinical experiences in that clinical agency, the student may not be able to progress in the program.

7. Admission with advanced standing is subject to space available in the clinical component of the nursing program. Persons who begin their nursing education at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College have preference in admission over students requesting transfer into the program. Space will be allotted to transfer students only when no students who have previously enrolled in the A-B Tech ADN Program are requesting and have qualified for re-entry.
