Frequently Asked Questions
I applied to COTC. Is that the same as applying to the practical nursing program?
No. The practical nursing program is a competitive, selective healthcare program. Students first apply to COTC (the college) and indicate interest in a health technologies program (or apply to a pre-health track). Then students complete a separate application to apply to the practical nursing program.
How do I learn about the application process for the practical nursing program?
Students interested in the practical nursing program must register and attend an information meeting.
What are the requirements to apply to the practical nursing program?
Pre-requisite classes must be completed
There are classes students must take, have taken or can be awarded transfer credit for before they can apply to the practical nursing program. You must have one of the following:
- A full unit of high school biology or Introduction to Human Biology
- Higher college equivalents
- Approved COTC transfer credit for human biology or Anatomy and Physiology I
Students who have taken the courses or receive transfer credit for the courses must have received a grade C or higher.
Health Selection Exam
Students must complete the HESI exam for the Practical Nursing program. View more information about the HESI exam, how to register, and the cost here.

Provide verification (card or registry number) of current status as a state tested nurse aide (STNA). The COTC course that provides eligibility for STNA testing is NURS 002 Basic Health Care Skills.
Transcripts
Students must submit official high school transcript with graduation date or official GED transcript. High school seniors must send a current transcript during their senior year and a final transcript after graduation.

ALL foreign transcripts (high school and colleges) must be evaluated by a NACES Member- www.naces.org.
