Welcome to the San Jose City College Pre-Nursing Resource Guide

In this Canvas resource, you'll find information on the following topics related to applying to nursing programs:

Overview of the Profession and Types of Degrees
Is Nursing the Right Career Choice for You?
Nursing Program Requirements and Prerequisites
Nursing Exams
Nursing Programs in California
How to Be a More Competitive Applicant

All SJCC counselors should be able to assist students towards preparing for a career in nursing. I've included a sample education plan for full-time enrollment, but working with a counselor, you can tailor it to your individual needs based on your work and family situation.

This resource is public to all users in the San Jose Evergreen Community College District. I have included a discussion section for students to use to recommend instructors, resources, study aids and apps, volunteer experiences and any other resource you think would be valuable. This resource will be updated yearly, and we can all learn from each other. If you have additional information that you would like added to the guide, please email me at rachel.hagan@sjcc.edu.

Thank you
