NEW UPDATE!
THE NURSING PROGRAMS ENROLLMENT IS NOW CLOSED.
The next nursing application enrollment will start February 1, 2019 and closed February 28, 2019.
THE SCC NURSING DEPARTMENT HAS MOVED.
We are now located in Temp 9 in the north side of campus.
For general information regarding the Nursing program, please review this site. Please email further inquiry to SCCNursingApplication@losrios.edu.
You may also attend one of our Informational Meetings. Date and times of meetings can be located on our nursing website under “Interested Student”. There are no meetings scheduled during the summer.
We no longer accept Introduction to Sociology as a nursing prerequisite. Sociology 321, Race, Ethnicity and Inequality has replaced Intro to Sociology as a prerequisite. The change went into effect in 2016. If you have not already completed Sociology 321 please review the CCCCO Distance Education website for acceptable course substitutions offered online at other California colleges.
For applicants with an Associate or Bachelor Degree please see the FAQ information regarding Sociology 321 exemption requirements.
Questions regarding transferable courses or course selection please contact our SCC Counseling Department for assistance.
The Nursing Department includes two board-approved programs: Associates Degree – Nursing (ADN) and Vocational Nursing (VN). The ADN program is four semesters in length and the VN program is three semesters. Each program has pre-requisite courses, plus nursing theory with concurrent clinical practice. Graduates of both programs are eligible to sit for the licensure examination and are prepared for employment. A career mobility LVN to RN track is also available that culminates in achieving the Associate Degree.
Students with a diagnosed documented disability from a Disability Resource Center Learning Specialist need to submit accommodation paperwork to the SCC Nursing Program Director. Students with questions or concerns are encouraged to call (916) 558-2271 and schedule an appointment with the Program Director. Assessment/Testing
Applications are only accessible during Open Enrollment periods.
