Southside Regional Medical Center (SRMC) School of Nursing is a 3-year diploma school of nursing preparing its graduates for registered nurse licensure (RN).

All students admitted to the school must be high school graduates or GED recipients. Students preparing for nusing education should be taking college preparatory courses in high school. Algebra, Biology, and Chemistry are required pre-requisites on the high school level. We also encourage applicants to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Preference is given to those applicants who have ranked in the top one-third of their high school class. Transfer credit for previously earned college credits which pertain to the School of Nursing curriculum may be granted; however, all transcripts are evaluated on an individual basis. Students with English as a second language must obtain a minumum score of 500 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

College support courses for the school are taught at Richard Bland College, the junior college of The College of William and Mary in Virginia. SRMC students may have the opportunity to earn an Associate Degree in Science from Richard Bland while pursuing their nursing diploma.

Current enrollment has a student age range of 18 to 40+ years. We welcome applications from high school students, from second career seekers, and others who see professional nursing as an exciting career for the 21st century!
