• This check sheet is for the Allied Health
  Diploma. It contains the same courses as the
  previous sheet but indicates prerequisites and
  the recommended sequence. Copies are available
  outside E201.

6
Course Sequence

• Be sure ALL prerequisite courses are finished
  before attempting to register for a course.
• A P I is the prerequisite for Introductory
  Microbology
• A P I and Chemistry are the prerequisites for A
  P II
• RDG 120 and a chemistry course (High School/CHM
  100/CHM 110) must be completed before taking the
  National League of Nursing (NLN) exam.

7
Course Sequence

• Take a mixture of technical and non-technical
  courses each semester to be most successful.
• MAT 119 should be taken the semester before
  beginning Nursing clinical courses.
• The Nursing Department is reviewing this
  recommendation, it may change in future
  semesters.
• MAT 119 is currently restricted (tech-locked) for
  Nursing (ADS and ADP) students.

8
Course Sequence

• CHM 100 vs. CHM 110
• CHM 100 was specifically designed for the DTCC
  Nursing program. It covers only topics needed by
  these students and it generally does not transfer
  to 4-year programs. MAT 012 is a prerequisite
  for CHM 100.
• CHM 110 is a broader course designed for students
  in a variety of Allied Health and Engineering
  fields. Not all topics are directly applicable
  to Nursing. It is usually accepted by 4-year
  programs (and must be taken for the UD Connected
  Degree program). MAT 015 is a prerequisite for
  CHM 110.

9
The Nursing Degree

• Information about the Nursing curriculum and
  requirements is presented twice a month at the
  Nursing Information Sessions. Call 302-888-5288
  for further information
