Applying and licensure
The school admits most applicants (about 100% overall), but that does not mean a nursing seat is guaranteed. Expect the nursing program to have its own application, prerequisite courses, and limited seats. Our guide to getting into nursing school explains what programs typically look for. After graduation, the path to a license goes through the state board of nursing in Virginia and the NCLEX exam. Ask the program about its accreditation (ACEN or CCNE) and state approval, and see how it stacks up against other nursing schools in Virginia.
