ECCC Policies & Procedures

evaluated using ACT score, academic course work, grade point average (GPA), pre-admission examination results, and health care work experience. The number of students admitted into the program each year will vary according to resources available. Credit may be given for prior learning. If the student has completed both Anatomy & Physiology I and II with labs (or upper-level equivalents with labs) and received a grade of “C” or better, the student may receive credit for PNV 1213 – Body Structure and Function. The student must have completed these courses within the previous five (5) years or earned a cumulative score in the 60 th percentile or higher on the HESI A2 pre-entrance examination, Anatomy & Physiology subject area, to receive credit for this course. Applications for the PN Program may be obtained on-line at www.eccc.edu . The application deadline is March 31 for the Fall class. Post acceptance requirements for students selected include a physical examination; MMR immunizations; Hepatitis B vaccines; proof of 2 step TB skin test; criminal background check; and American Heart Association Healthcare Provider Course. All students must agree to be randomly tested for drugs at any point and time while enrolled in any healthcare program. The student is responsible for all expenses associated with testing. All Healthcare Education Division students must submit to and satisfactorily complete a criminal background check. Admission may be rescinded and reversed based on review of the students’ criminal background check. Students who refuse to submit to a criminal background check or do not pass the criminal background check review will be dismissed from the program. Students who are dismissed from a Healthcare Education Division program may seek admission into another educational program.
