Nursing Program
Nurses at all levels need to be caring and relate well to people of different backgrounds and cultures. As a nurse, you need to be able to adapt to change, think critically, and respond during crises. Personal integrity and ethical behavior are essential for nurses. The nursing program is academically and physically rigorous. As a nursing student, you need to be able to grasp scientific concepts, set up and answer basic math and algebra problems, and communicate well verbally and in writing. Physically, you need to be able to remain on your feet for extended periods, lift up to 40 pounds, hear heart and breath sounds and use a telephone, read fine print, and identify skin tones such as pale, ashen, gray, or bluish. If you have a history of substance abuse or mental health problems or a criminal record, you may wish to speak with a nursing advisor prior to pursuing nursing as a career. If you are a licensed practical nurse (LPN) or have been enrolled in a nursing program at Clatsop or another college, you may qualify for advanced placement into the nursing program. You may enter the program, depending on your education and experience. If you think you may qualify for advanced placement or have program questions: Contact Laurie Choate at 503-338-2436 or email lchoate@clatsopcc.edu.
Nursing program enrollment is limited. You must apply for admission; if accepted, you will begin nursing classes fall term. Applications are accepted once a year in the spring. For specific dates, please see the Nursing Program Information and Application packet below.
If you meet the minimum requirements for admission, you will be awarded points toward admission for such things as grades, completed college classes, and work experience in health care. Applicants who have the highest number of points are offered program admission. If you do not fall within this group, you will be placed on a ranked list of alternates. Once you are accepted into the program, you will need to pay a non-refundable fee and meet other requirements for immunizations, basic nursing skills, and CPR training.
For the class that will begin Fall 2009, there were 81 applicants. Of these,
- 15 did not meet the minumum evaluation requirements because:

- Points for the accepted students ranged from 49.92 - 63.72*
- GPA for the accepted students ranged from 3.24 - 4:00*
- 20 of the accepted students are local residents
*Every year is different. Range is based on highest points awarded and number of available openings.
