How do I apply for the nursing program at Central Piedmont Community College?

I'm interested in the nursing program at Central Piedmont Community College. Does anyone know what the application process is like and if there are any specific requirements different from the general application?

Applying to the nursing program at Central Piedmont Community College involves a two-tier process. First, you apply to the college in general, and then you apply specifically to the nursing program. You'll also need to meet academic prerequisites and other requirements.

Starting a new application is a straightforward process. You will need to go to the college's website and click on the "Apply Now!" button on the home page which will take you to the application portal. Complete all the required fields with your data, and once you have successfully submitted your college application, you get a student ID and login credentials for the student portal.

Now, the second tier which is applying to the nursing program is a bit more intensive. Since nursing programs are competitive, Central Piedmont’s nursing program has specific requirements apart from the general admission requirements.

You must have completed your application to the college and have also completed certain prerequisite courses with a minimum grade, often a "C" or better. These prerequisites usually include Biology, Anatomy, and Physiology. Make sure to refer to the nursing program requirements page on the Central Piedmont Community College website to get a detailed list of the prerequisite and general education courses.

Additionally, you will need to pass a placement test, which typically involves English and Math sections, unless you have transferable college-level credits in these subjects. Tests like the ATI TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) might be required depending on the college's policy.

Furthermore, depending on the program, you might need to complete an application specifically for it, where you’ll specify that you’re applying for the nursing program. Additional requirements might include a background check, immunizations, and possibly CPR certification.

Remember this is a general guidance, and detailed information and requirements could vary so please check the official website of Central Piedmont Community College for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
