Nursing Completion Paramedic to ADN Petition Requirements 2022-2023

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) or higher
• Liberal Arts 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) or higher
• 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 & Physiology 1 (20806207) AND Anatomy & Physiology 2 (20806208)
  • BOTH General Anatomy & Physiology (10806177) AND Adv Anatomy & Physiology (10806179)

Students must be able to provide employment verification that includes at least six months of full-time experience as a licensed paramedic using the Employment Verification Form (PDF, 433KB).

Students must complete this form and submit it to the Nursing Program at Nursing@madisoncollege.edu.

Note: For best results, open PDFs in Internet Explorer or save the PDF and open in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Your Degree Progress Report will determine if you have met the petition requirements. Completion will be identified by transfer credit, test scores, final grades, or an in-progress enrollment status. Review the Petition Process for additional details on how and when to petition.

During the course of the program, you must demonstrate the ability to perform these essential functions safely, reliably and efficiently within the scope of practice. If you need accommodations to help you perform these functions, contact our Disability Resource Services office.

After you complete the petition form, you will be notified approximately 15 business days after the close of the priority petition window. Decisions about being awarded a seat are final. You may register for core program courses only if you are awarded a seat.

If selected, you will receive instructions regarding the below required items. Failure to successfully complete these required items may result in the forfeiture of the awarded space and starting the application process from the beginning.

• Students must be able to meet all health and safety requirements on the Health Education policy page.
• Enrollment in core program courses. Students that are awarded a seat are expected to start the core program for the awarded term. Students that choose not to begin the core program courses or are not able to begin core program courses will be discontinued from the pre-program status and must start the application process from the beginning.
• Mandatory Nursing Orientation.
