The Clackamas Community College nursing program, which is approved by the Oregon State Board of Education and the Oregon State Board of Nursing, is also a partner in the Oregon Consortium for Nursing Education (OCNE). 

Admission into the nursing program is by special application only. The application is a two-step process. Students must submit an application via NursingCAS by the stated deadline. Based upon a point system, qualified applicants will progress to the interview/essay portion of the application process. Acceptance to the nursing program allows for co-admission to Clackamas Community College and Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing.

A criminal background check will be required prior to acceptance into the nursing program. An applicant who has been arrested, charged or convicted of any criminal offense will be evaluated on an individual basis. Certain convictions will automatically exclude an applicant from being accepted into the nursing program.

Validation of up-to-date immunization, and urine drug screen are also required prior to the start of clinical rotations in the first term of the program. Maintenance of vaccinations (such as influenza) and American Heart Association Healthcare Provider BLS (CPR) is required throughout all terms of the nursing program. Technical standards related to the ability to perform safe patient care will need to be maintained while in the nursing program.
