Nursing Completion Paramedic to ADN Petition Requirements

As soon as students are placed into a pre-program status, they will be added to a program-specific Petition Workshop via BlackBoard. This workshop is mandatory and will provide additional insight into the program as well as institutional resources and advisor support. Students must log into BlackBoard to review what is required for completion of the workshop.

You should complete the prerequisite requirement first as it can improve success in the program and may be required to register for the course requirements.

If fulfilling the prerequisite requirement with courses completed in high school, college, or at Madison College, a grade of C or better is required.  A grade of C- will not be accepted.

CHEMISTRY

You must demonstrate chemistry competency in one of the following ways:

1. One year of high school chemistry with lab components; high school chemistry classes must be college-preparatory.

2. One semester of college-level chemistry with lab components. Madison College courses that satisfy this requirement are:

• General Chemistry (10806134) 
• University Trasnfer Chemistry (20806200)

After completing the prerequisite requirements, you should complete the course requirements.

For all courses, a grade of C or better is required; a grade of C- will not be accepted.

• English 1 (20801201) or Written Communication (10801195) 
• Anatomy and Physiology: Choose one combination of courses. Note: Each pair of courses must be taken as a sequence and cannot be combined with other Anatomy and Physiology courses. Mixing courses results in missed coverage of important content.
  • BOTH Anatomy and Physiology 1 (20806207) and Anatomy and Physiology 2 (20806208)
  • BOTH General Anatomy and Physiology (10806177) and Adv Anatomy and Physiology (10806179)

If awarded a seat, you will receive instructions regarding the below required items. If you do not complete the required items, it may result in losing your seat and starting the application process from the beginning. Please view the Health and Nursing Programs Policies for more information.
