Students must apply directly to the Nursing School at least one year in advance of the semester they plan to attend nursing classes there. Students who have not had high school chemistry will need to make up the deficiency. The Academic Dean will have application forms, but admission to the School of Nursing is the students' responsibility. The School of Nursing controls acceptance into their program.

Graduates will receive diplomas from both Penn View Bible Institute and the School of Nursing and will be eligible to take the National Council for Licensure Examination for licensure as a registered professional nurse.
