General education courses are built into the curriculum but can be taken prior to the semester where they are indicated on the curriculum. All NURS courses are delivered in an 8-week format. NURS courses are restricted to students currently accepted in the ADN program or on permission of the Dean of Health Sciences. Students who successfully complete all required courses and meet eligibility requirements outlined by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation will be eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX-RN). Students are required to earn a grade of "C" or better in all courses and approved substitutes to be eligible to continue in the program. If, in the opinion of an instructor and/or dean, any student's work, conduct, or health might have a detrimental effect on patients or personnel within a clinical agency, said student may be withdrawn from the clinical setting. Students who fail/withdraw from the same nursing course two times or fail/withdraw from three separate nursing courses will be dismissed from the program. Students are eligible to appeal a dismissal, should extenuating circumstances be applicable. Students who receive approval to re-enter will be subject to policies, procedures, and curriculum which are current at the time of re-entry.
