Advanced Standing into Third Semester
Licensed practical nurses and/or select nursing transfer students may be considered for advanced standing. These students may apply for NUR 2510 after completing the following requirements:

1. Successful challenge or transfer of NUR 1500, NUR 1510, NUR 1520, and NUR 2970.

Upon acceptance into NUR 2510, the student is required to take NUR 1450, as described in the NUR 1520 challenge procedure. Acceptance into any nursing course is contingent upon space available in the course and the qualifications of the applicant.

Transfer or Readmission
A student seeking transfer or readmission may enter the nursing program according to the following criteria:

1. Each student must apply for admission/readmission to the nursing program through the admissions office at either the Jamestown or Cattaraugus County Campus. If you wish to enter the nursing program in the fall semester, you need to apply by February 1, and for the spring semester, by October 1. Applications may continue to be accepted past the deadlines on a space available basis.
2. Each student must be accepted into the college for the semester being readmitted. (Application/reapplication must be completed by any transfer student or readmitted student who was not attending JCC the semester immediately prior to admission.)
3. Students seeking readmission or transfer into the nursing program need to meet the same criteria as students entering the nursing program for the first time.
4. Any readmitted student who withdrew two years ago or longer will be required to enter NUR 1520, providing he/she has successfully completed NUR 1510 or successfully challenged NUR 1510.
5. A minimum grade of “C” is required in each nursing course. A student will be permitted to repeat one nursing core course (NUR 1510, NUR 1520, NUR 2510, and NUR 2520) one time. Should the student be unsuccessful in repeating any nursing core course, he/she would be ineligible to continue in the nursing program. Students who are unsuccessful in more than one nursing core course and have already repeated one core course will not be eligible to repeat a second nursing core course. Withdrawal from a core nursing course after the first 30 calendar days will be considered a failure of the course for reapplication purposes. In case of illness or other extreme circumstances, the faculty may consider a one-time exception. The student wishing to be considered for a waiver to the withdrawal counting as a failure for reapplication purposes should obtain letters of support from two faculty members. The waiver with letters of support from two faculty members should be submitted to the nursing program committee for consideration.
6. Once the nursing sequence of courses has begun, the student must complete the program in three years. The faculty may consider exceptions to the three-year period. The student wishing to be considered for a waiver to the three-year period should obtain letters of support from two full-time nursing faculty members. The waiver, with letters of support, will be submitted to the nursing program committee for consideration.
7. Transfer credits may be approved for NUR 1510 and 1520 based upon the transfer school syllabi for those courses.
8. A student seeking transfer or readmission into the nursing program will be considered on the basis of space availability and grade point average. Special consideration will be given to individuals whose education was interrupted due to a military commitment.
9. A transfer student must complete at least 30 credit hours at JCC to be eligible for graduation. The student is required to successfully complete NUR 1450 when transferring into the nursing program. Content of the course is to include the philosophy and organizing structure of the nursing program, nursing process, and information regarding student conduct. The student is to consult with the director of the nursing program for the schedule of the course.
10. Students seeking readmission or transfer into NUR 1520, 2510, or 2520 will be conditionally accepted according to the following policy: Students who are conditionally reaccepted into the nursing program must successfully demonstrate selected skills learned in the previous semester(s) as identified by nursing faculty. Students will be granted the opportunity to practice the skills and will have two opportunities to successfully demonstrate the skills. During this time the resources of the college laboratory will be available to them. The demonstration of skills will occur prior to the start of the semester. Students will be notified as to the skills to be demonstrated and the times for demonstration. Students who do not successfully demonstrate selected skills after the second opportunity will be denied reacceptance into the nursing program. An $80 fee will be charged for the skills demonstration. The fee must be paid at the business office prior to the demonstration of skills. The student must bring a copy of the receipt to the testing site.
