ADN Program Details

Special application is required for admission to the nursing program. A Nursing Applicant Information Guide, available from the Advising Center, describes program prerequisites and application process. Refer to the Nursing website: www.yc.edu/nursing for application deadlines.

It is essential that nursing students be able to perform a number of physical activities in the clinical portion of the program. At minimum, students will be required to lift clients, stand for several hours at a time and perform bending activities. The clinical nursing experience also places students under considerable mental and emotional stress as they undertake responsibilities and duties impacting clients’ lives. Students must be able to demonstrate rational and appropriate behavior under stressful conditions. Individuals should give careful consideration to the mental and physical demands of the program prior to making application. The technical standards for the program are identified in the Nursing Applicant Information Guide.
