Application Information
The nursing programs at RCC are restricted programs, meaning that there are additional requirements for enrollment over and above those required by the college. The application is due the first Monday in October for a January start. Students will be required to take a Kaplan Entrance Exam and should call the testing center to schedule. Students may take the Kaplan Entrance Exam twice in a calendar year.
