PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Review the RN prerequisites and current selection criteria, rather than the separate LPN or RN-to-BSN pathways.
Your complete timeline
Confirm prerequisites plus the RN sequence. Allow separately for prerequisite preparation, selection and the clinical start date.
Plan around the schedule
Plan for classroom work, simulation and clinical attendance. Ask about shifts and travel outside Klamath Falls.
Application and selection
As checked September 15, 2026, fall 2026 applications were closed and fall 2027 information was pending. Check the official page for updates. RN licensure is separate from graduation.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
When will the next RN application open, and which clinical locations and prerequisites apply?
- 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
An associate or bachelor’s nursing route can prepare students for RN licensure. Prerequisites and competitive clinical admission can add time before the nursing sequence. Confirm exam and Oregon licensing requirements.
