Nursing Program Guide

The WVC Nursing program is offered on the Wenatchee and Omak campuses. If you are interested in the nursing program, start by completing the prerequisites (linked below). Once you have completed all the prerequisites and met all the general requirements, you are eligible to apply to the nursing program. Accepted students begin taking the below classes every fall quarter on both campuses and additionally in the Spring on the Wenatchee campus. Successful completion of the entire program entitles students to take the licensure examination for registered nurses (NCLEX-RN).
