I'm interested in the nursing program at Dyersburg State Community College. Could someone explain the specific requirements or documents needed for the nursing application process?
To pursue nursing at Dyersburg State Community College, there are several specific steps and requirements you'll need to meet during the application process.
For starters, you must first be admitted to Dyersburg State Community College. The general admission process requires applicants to submit an online application and provide their high school transcripts GED certificate, and ACT or SAT scores if available.
Once admitted to the college, you would then need to apply to the Nursing program specifically. This requires a separate application, additional criteria, and a selection process.
To apply for the nursing program, you'll need the following:
1. Current unrestricted Tennessee LPN or RN license if you are a Licensed Practical Nurse or a Registered Nurse.

Upon receiving these requirements, the Nursing Department will communicate further steps that may involve medical and background checks, personal essay writing, and potential interviews.
