Information about the Nursing Program
Admission into the Nursing Program is competitive. It is highly recommended that students
interested in pursuing a career in nursing meet with their counselor each semester
and attend a Nursing Information Session. In order to be considered for the nursing
program, a student must file an application with the Admissions Office between October
1st 2024 - March 1st 2025 for the Fall 2025 Admission Cycle.
Currently there are positions for 48 RN (Associate Degree Nursing) and 16 LPN (Certificate)
students with acceptance for the fall semester only.Nursing Information Worksheets
are available in the Counseling Center to help students understand the pre-requisites,
the preparation coursework, the formula for admission, and the program itself. This
information is covered in the Nursing Information Session, as well as in an individual
counseling session.Preference is given to those applicants who are legal residents
of IVCC district #513. Residency is defined as living in district 30 days prior to
the deadline for the application. Non-residents will be considered for admission only
after all qualified and eligible district residents have been offered admission. If
a student works full-time in-district, they will be considered in-district residents.
Proof of employment will be required.
IVCC currently has dual admissions agreements with Illinois Central College and Sauk
Valley Community College for students attending or paying taxes to Midland School
District, Fieldcrest School District, Henry-Senachwine School District, and Bureau
Valley School District. This agreement allows students to attend either community
college at in-district tuition rates. Students will be coded as out-of-district and
may be asked to prove residency with the Cashier to receive the in-district rate. Important
note: This does not imply residency for the purpose of admissions into limited admissions
programs such as nursing. Students who reside out of the district and within these dual admissions areas are
still considered out-of-district for the nursing program and will be admitted only
after all qualified in-district applicants have been admitted.
We have developed a nursing calculator, available online at www.ivcc.edu/nursingcalculator
to assist you in estimating your score for nursing admission. Please note that this
online calculator is only an estimate and the final, official scores will be calculated
by the Admissions Office.
The Nursing application will be available in online at www.ivcc.edu/apply
A degree audit is required for every student applying to the program. Call the counseling
office at 815-224-0360 to set up a meeting with a counselor. We also recommend attending
