PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Map anatomy, physiology and other prerequisites against the current nursing application checklist. College admission does not reserve a nursing seat.
Your complete timeline
2-year nursing sequence after preparation. Allow separately for prerequisite preparation, selection and the clinical start date.
Plan around the schedule
Campus-based; confirm the current timetable. Ask for the actual days, start times and required travel from Pendleton. Online coursework does not necessarily make laboratories or placements remote.
Application and selection
Complete college admission and the separate nursing selection process. Review the current prerequisite completion rules, application window and clinical-clearance requirements; an available college place is not a nursing-program offer.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
Which preparation, timetable and complete budget apply to my Nursing plan?
- Which required courses or placements are offered only once per year?
- Can you give me a written estimate covering every required term and practical expense?
- Which employment, transfer or licensing requirements remain after this award?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
Graduates must meet examination and state licensure requirements before practicing as registered nurses. Confirm eligibility for the state where you intend to work.
