Many of our clinical sites require students to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 as well as Influenza during the flu season (Oct 1 – May 31) in order to be on-site at their clinical organizations.  Exemptions are at the discretion of the clinical site organizations. 

The Nursing and Allied Health Division at WNC offers an Associate of Applied Science Degree (AAS) in Nursing and courses in Emergency Medical Services, Laboratory Technician (LTE), and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). The mission of the division is to prepare students for transfer to four-year colleges and/or to provide them with the knowledge they need for their careers.

Enrollment Process

Please note that the process for enrolling in CNA, EMS and LTE classes may take up to four weeks to complete due to immunization and other requirements. Please begin the enrollment process early.
