HANCEVILLE, Ala. — The Wallace State Community College Department of Nursing Education is extending its application deadline for Spring 2022. Students seeking admission to the traditional or UAB/WSCC Nursing Joint Enrollment now have until Oct. 1 to submit their application.
The traditional associate degree nursing (ADN) program is a five-semester program, with those completing the first three semesters earning a certificate and becoming eligible to sit for the practical nursing licensure exam if they wish to enter the workforce. Those completing the next two semesters earn an associate degree and are eligible to sit for the registered nursing licensure exam.
The UAB/WSCC Nursing Joint Enrollment option is a nine-semester program, with the first four semesters dedicated to completing required academic courses before a student applies to the UAB and Wallace State Nursing programs. The next five semesters are all Nursing courses at Wallace State and online courses at UAB. Students concurrently earn both the associate degree in nursing from Wallace State and a bachelor’s degree in nursing from UAB.
The Wallace State Department of Nursing Education will hold a Nursing Information Session on Sept. 20 at 2 p.m. in the School of Nursing and Center for Science room 219. Students who attend the information session receive one point toward their overall course point total, which is used in the selection process of applicants.

The Wallace State Department of Nursing Education is a two-time designee as a Center of Excellence in Nursing Education by the National League for Nursing. It offers certificate and degree options in the traditional program.
