Nursing - Illinois Eastern Community Colleges - Wabash Valley College

Nursing from Illinois Eastern Community Colleges - Wabash Valley College is a Campus Associate Registered Nurse degree that prepares you for a Nursing career. Persons interested in applying to the nursing program should contact the nursing office at one of the four colleges in the IECC District. The nursing office will provide prospective students with program information, an application, and a partial copy of the Illinois Nursing Act, which stipulates that a nursing license may be refused to persons who have been involved in a criminal offense, such as felony or misdemeanor, or unlawful sale of any drug, or alcohol/substance abuse. One convicted of a criminal offense is not automatically barred from licensure, but the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation will take such convictions into consideration. Applicants will be asked to submit pre-admission documentation if concerns exist. Effective Fall 2007, a cumulative GPA of 2.5 is required to make application to the nursing program. Conduct and Health In addition to meeting the nursing program requirements for admission, a student's conduct and health status must also meet the standards of the clinical agencies.
