Applications for the next nursing cohort (Fall 2022) are now ready to be mailed, picked up or downloaded. The application deadline has been extended to 4:30 pm (ET), June 1, 2022.
Eastern adheres to an open admission policy which means applications with a high school diploma or GED are eligible for admission. Eastern admits new students to a nursing cohort every two years. The next admission cycle will open in 2021.
Eastern uses a point system to determine admissions to the nursing program, which the application will explain. No pre-interview is required. To gain admittance, nursing students must pass a drug test, a physical, a background check, and must present evidence of up-to-date immunizations. Eastern will not consider applicants who submit incomplete applications. Students interested in applying for the Nursing program should contact Eastern’s Student Services Department for additional information.
Additional admissions requirements for the Nursing Program include:
- If you have failed two previous Nursing Programs, your application will not be considered
- High school graduate or GED US/TASC Test
- 2.5 GPA from high school or college courses
- Eligible to take college English and Math
- HESI A2 results: Applicants must have an adjusted individual composite score of 75 or higher
