Lawson State Community College-Birmingham Campus ADN-RN Nursing Program Prerequisites & Reviews.

Nursing program             

The Associate Degree Nursing program consists of five (5) consecutive semesters. Students are expected to earn a “C” or better in classroom and “Satisfactory” in clinical to qualify to progress to another nursing program. Students not satisfying these requirements will fail to progress to the next nursing course. However, based on the availability of space and GPA, the student may be considered for readmission to repeat the failed course. Readmission is allowed only once during the entire nursing program.

Application into Lawson State’s prestigious nursing program is competitive.  Although we recommend that all students apply to our program, there is no guarantee of admission for all students meeting minimum requirements or seeking readmission are not guaranteed admission.
