Adults only. High school students are not eligible to register for this program.

Upon admission into the Practical Nursing Program, students will be required to complete a background check, a drug screen, and provide documentation of current vaccinations including a covid vaccination in order to qualify for participation in clinical experiences at healthcare facilities.

Clinical experience is required for successful completion of the nursing program. Students who are in the process of completing prerequisite course(s) may still apply if the course(s) will be completed and a transcript can be produced with a C grade or higher before the first day of nursing classes begin.

Students must satisfy each of the following:

1. Must have a current Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Certificate.
2. Must have a current BLS certificate from American Heart Association
3. Must have completed all THREE prerequisite courses with a C or better. The three required prerequisite courses are Anatomy, Physiology, and Growth and Development OR Psychology; Introductory courses for Anatomy and Physiology will not be accepted. However, they will be accepted for Psychology or Growth and Development. Integrated Anatomy and Physiology courses will be accepted if both courses have been taken.

• The prerequisite courses must be taken from a regionally accredited college or university (Utah Valley University, Brigham Young University, Weber State University, Salt Lake Community College, etc). We do not accept prerequisite courses taken at schools such as Provo College, Ameritech, study.com, etc. If you have a question about your prerequisite courses and/or transcripts, please email nursing@mtec.edu for assistance.
• There is no time limit associated with prerequisite courses but you will most likely be more successful in your completion of the Practical Nursing Program if your prerequisite courses have been taken within the past 4-5 years.

1. Must be 18 years or older.
2. Complete the  Report of Health Evaluation Form (within one year prior to the application date.)
