Nursing Information Session

Thank you for your interest in the Paradise Valley Community College (PVCC) Nursing Program! PVCC participates in both the Traditional Program and Concurrent Enrollment Program (CEP) where our nursing faculty prepare you for an exciting and fulfilling career in Nursing.

To learn more about these programs, please complete the Nursing Information Session (NIS). The NIS is available through Canvas. You may complete the NIS at your convenience. To access the NIS, you must complete the Admissions process at PVCC and log in using your MEID. Not sure if you have an MEID? You can use Find My MEID to check!

Once you have completed the Canvas NIS, you can make an appointment with PVCC’s Nursing Program Academic Advisor(s) who will take you through the next steps of the process. You may also email your questions to prenursing@paradisevalley.edu or call the campus’s main line and be transferred to the appropriate advising staff for assistance.

Other programs available:
