Healthcare & Nursing Pathways
Careers in nursing and healthcare are always in high demand. WNC has certifications in Phlebotomy, as well as a degree pathway for pre-nursing students and individuals with an interest in community health science, public health and related fields.
WNCs Nursing program is among the best in the state, and every year our students pass the N-CLEX exam at high rates and go to work in our local hospitals or medical facilities.
Please check the Nursing and Allied Health page for application, testing and immunization details.
Registered Nursing
Preparing nurses to support Nevadas growing population is important to us. We offer our nursing program in both Carson City and Fallon to meet the needs of our community.
The first step to preparing for the nursing program is to complete prerequisite requirements. Many pre-nursing students will enroll in WNCs health science degree while they complete these requirements. This enables them to receive financial aid throughout their studies at WNC.
