Admissions Requirements
Nursing Program
Admission to Judson's Associate Degree of Nursing program requires that you complete an application for general admission to the college, plus an application for the nursing program itself. Requirements to enter the nursing program differ slightly from general admissions requirements, and, as a prospective nursing program student, you must meet both sets of requirements.
Please read carefully the requirements for both the general admission and admission to the nursing program. To apply, use the links on this page for each application. You may apply for general admission online; however, applications for nursing, along with other required materials, should be mailed into the Admissions Office at the address below.

are required to take the TEAS. You can register for the TEAS here. *The
cost will be $50 and should be paid through the ATI website with a personal
credit/debit card.
- Background Screen Checks - In order for you to participate in required courses that have a clinical component, you are required to have a background check, at your own expense. The college may randomly require background screenings throughout the length of your involvement in the program.
- Pre-Clinical Drug Screen - In order for you to participate in courses which have a clinical component, you are required to have an initial pre-clinical drug screening. The initial pre-clinical drug screen is conducted prior to entering the nursing program, at your own expense.

It is also important to understand that, due to the large number of nursing students in our area, ADN students should expect some evening (nontraditional work hours) and weekend assignments.
