Minimum Age Notification
Please know that the School of Nursing (SON) does not have a minimum age for enrollment. As part of the nursing curriculum, you will need to complete required clinical rotations at local healthcare facilities. These clinical partners may have a minimum age requirement of 18 years or older for any student completing a clinical rotation. If you are under 18 years of age at the time of your rotation, the SON will try to find a facility that will allow you inside; however, there are no guarantees, and this may ultimately result in delays to your graduation or removal from the program. Should you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to contact the Director of the School of Nursing, Dr. Michelle Edmonds, via email.
