Accreditation
JCC’s nursing program has been awarded accreditation for achievement of quality and excellence in nursing education through spring 2009 by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC), 61 Broadway, 33rd Floor, New York, NY 10006, phone: 800.699.1656 or 212.363.5555; fax: 212.812.0390.
RN Licensure
Graduates of the nursing program are eligible to apply for the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
At the time of submission of an application for licensure and first registration, the applicant is required to report a history of a felony or misdemeanor, or if such charges are pending. State boards of nursing will review the information submitted by the applicant and will determine if the applicant is eligible for licensure. A history of a felony or a misdemeanor may jeopardize the applicant’s eligibility for licensure by state boards of nursing. Prospective applicants with a felony or misdemeanor are encouraged to discuss their situation with the board of nursing in the state where licensure will be sought.
Persons intending to practice nursing in New York should contact the New York State Board of Nursing, 89 Washington Ave., Albany, NY 12234-1000 (518.474.3817). Those intending to practice nursing in Pennsylvania should contact the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing, PO Box 2649, Harrisburg, PA 17105-2649 (717.783.7142).
