Transcription of VOCATIONAL NURSING DIPLOMA PROGRAM
1 The College makes no representation, promise or guarantee that completion of this PROGRAM either assures passage of the NCLEX or other examination. The College cannot guarantee a student's eligibility either to take any exam or become certified, registered, or licensed as a nurse. A student's eligibility may depend on his or her work experience, completion of high school (or its equivalent), not having a criminal record, meeting other licensure or certification requirements. Externship sites may themselves require a criminal background check or medical examination. Please refer to the Certification, State Board, and National Board Exams section of the relevant campus catalog for further guidance.
2 Prospective and current students, as well as graduates, are responsible for researching and understanding all examination, registration or licensure requirements in any state in which they seek to become registered, licensed or employed.
