Saddleback/IVC Student ID:

Applicants are required to have a Saddleback/IVC student ID number to apply. If you do not already have one, please apply to the college. When selecting your term, you may choose Spring 2025. If you are unable to attain your student ID number on time, you may enter the CCC apply application number as your student ID. 

Transcripts:

Official transcripts for any relevant nursing coursework must be submitted directly to the Admissions & Records office before submitting your application. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the official transcripts are received by the Admissions office.

If all relevant coursework was completed at Saddleback/IVC, there is no need to submit official transcripts, as we already have access to these records. Previously submitted transcripts are kept on file and do not need to be resubmitted unless additional relevant nursing coursework has been completed. In this case, please submit updated transcripts.

Notifications:

Please check your Submittable account regularly for updates on your application status. It is crucial to monitor the email address associated with your Submittable account to avoid missing important notifications. Acceptance or denial notifications will be sent out in August. 

Health Requirements for Admission

Students assigned to clinical rotations must meet the health requirements mandated by the clinical facilities. We will discuss this more in detail once accepted into the program. The following health requirements must be completed and maintained throughout the clinical rotation:

• Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
• Varicella
• TDAP
• Hepatitis B
• Annual TB Skin Test
• COVID-19 Annual Booster
• Annual Physical Exam
• Annual Seasonal Flu Shot

Immunization Requirements:

Some vaccines require additional testing to confirm immunity. Clinical sites require positive titers (lab results that confirm immunity) for the following vaccines:

• Hepatitis B
• MMR
• Varicella

Proof of vaccination alone is not sufficient. The process includes these steps:

1. Blood Tests: To check for immunity to the above diseases.
2. Booster Vaccines: If the titer is negative or equivocal, a booster vaccine must be administered.
3. Retesting: After receiving a booster, you must wait at least 4 weeks before retesting. Testing before this waiting period will result in invalid results.

Please note that some individuals may not have immunity, even if they have received the required childhood vaccinations. This process can take several months, so it is important to begin as soon as possible. Titers do not expire.

Mandatory Sessions:

Upon acceptance into the program, students will be required to attend:

• Health Assessment Zoom Session 
• ELSEVIER Product Information Session
•  RN Program Deadlines Zoom Session 
• Orientation (in person)

The dates/details for these sessions will be provided to you upon acceptance into the program.
