Associate Degree Nursing

All prospective and current nursing students are bound by the Code of Conduct outlined in the NHC Nursing Program Policies section of the Nursing Student Handbook.

The 2007 application and testing period for the Associate Degree Nursing programs at North Harris College has closed. No more applications will be accepted. Notification letters will be mailed in April. We will begin accepting applications for the 2008 class in January 2008.

The HESI A2 Nursing Pre-Entrance Test will not be available at North Harris College again until January and February 2008. If you are interested in the nursing programs for 2008, please attend an information session as soon as possible to learn more about our admissions requirements and selection process.

The Basic Track is designed for students with no previous formal training in nursing and currently holding no state licensure. This is a two-year program with fall and spring semester classes and an early-exit option. Click on Basic Track (left) for selection and admissions information.

The Articulation Track for Transition Students is designed for students currently holding Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) or Paramedic certification and who are currently working in their field. This is a one-year program consisting of classes in three semesters - summer, fall and spring. Click on Articulation Track (left) for selection and admissions information.

We do not offer any accelerated programs for students who already hold certificates or degrees in areas other than Vocational Nursing and Paramedic studies. All students that are not Paramedics or Vocational Nurses will follow the admissions and testing requirements for the Basic Track. Requests for transfer of academic credits will need to be submitted to the admissions department for review.

Students who have completed actual nursing coursework (not academic prerequisites) and wish to transfer from another nursing school will need to provide copies of your transcripts, course descriptions, a letter from the Director/Dean of your nursing school, and a personal letter of appeal to our Director of Nursing. You can submit these materials to the Nursing Counselor who will present them to the Director for review.

The Summer Hepatitis B Immunization Center will be held in Winship 151 from 4:00-6:00pm on the second Thursday in June, July and August. There will be no clinic in May.

$30 per shot, per person. Pay in the NHC Business Office (Academic Building) and bring your receipt. This is NOT a full-service immunization center. General immunization questions should be directed to your primary care physician.
