Final Call for Hanceville Residents: Apply to WSCC Nursing Program by Tomorrow

The Wallace State Department of Nursing Education in Hanceville, AL, has announced a deadline for Fall 2024 admissions applications: Wednesday, May 15. The nursing program offers several educational pathways, including a new evening option for the first three semesters of the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program at the Hanceville campus. There is also a joint enrollment option with Athens State University, allowing students to pursue an associate degree at Wallace State and a bachelor’s degree at Athens State simultaneously.

The traditional ADN program is also available in a hybrid format at the Oneonta Academic Center for the first three semesters. Completing these semesters qualifies students to take the Practical Nursing licensure exam and work as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) while continuing their education. Additionally, there is a joint enrollment program with the University of Alabama at Birmingham, offering simultaneous associate and bachelor’s degrees in nursing.

Starting from the second semester, Wallace State Nursing provides apprenticeship opportunities with healthcare facilities in north and central Alabama. These apprenticeships aim to enhance practical skills and job readiness. Application requirements for the ADN and Practical Nursing options include a minimum ACT score of 18, a GPA of 2.0 from the native institution or a cumulative 2.0 from a transferring institution, and a 2.5 GPA in nursing-required courses. A minimum cumulative 2.5 high school GPA is required for those without prior college courses, with applicable GED scores.

For joint enrollment programs with UAB and Athens State, the criteria include a minimum ACT score of 20 and a cumulative 2.5 GPA on all college work and nursing-required courses. All academic courses must be completed before applying, and students must gain admission to both UAB and Wallace State. For more details, prospective students can visit the Wallace State website or contact the nursing department.
