When can I apply to enter the Practical Nursing (PRCN) program at Kapi‘olani Community College (KCC)?
You must first complete the PRCN prerequisite courses, the ATI-TEAS exam, a state-approved nurse aide course and (15-hour) medical terminology course, after which you can complete an application to the PRCN program. The prerequisite courses can be completed at Kapi‘olani Community College or other campuses within the University of Hawai‘i (UH) System. Courses completed at institutions outside of the UH System may also be used to fulfill the PRCN prerequisite courses. To complete the prerequisite courses at a campus within the UH System, please complete the UH System Application Form and identify your preferred campus and indicate your major as liberal arts or unclassified.
