This is a limited-entry admission program. You must meet specific program entrance requirements in addition to PCC admission requirements. You must complete all general education requirements with a “C” or better before you can be admitted to the PN program.

Apply to the PN program through the Colorado Community College Nursing Program Admission website. You can submit your application any time after you complete the prerequisites outlined in the Nursing Department Information Packet. We will rank you numerically based on the date of completed requirements, and this ranking will determine date of acceptance to the nursing program.

Note: Clinical agencies used during the program require you to successfully complete a background check and drug screen.
