Your nursing school application checklist

By NursingAcademy · October 1, 2026

One checklist per application

Use this organizer alongside the school’s current instructions. It is a planning aid, not a replacement for the program’s requirements. Add your own dates and required documents to the printed copy.

Before starting

• Save the official program and admissions links.
• Record the application deadline and time zone.
• Check whether general admission and nursing admission are separate.
• Confirm prerequisites and any transcript evaluation.
• Verify the required entrance exam, if any, before booking.
• Request references or other materials early enough for their deadlines.
• Confirm application fees and refund rules.

Your checks stay in this page only. Print this checklist to keep a copy.

Before submitting

• Match your name and contact details across the application and documents.
• Review every required item against the official checklist.
• Proofread your own responses and check any word limits.
• Submit through the official school portal.
• Save confirmation of receipt and any application reference.
• Record the expected next steps and where status updates appear.

After submitting

Check the official portal for missing items. Keep copies of correspondence and record changes to deadlines. An application confirmation does not mean an admission offer, and admission does not confirm eventual licensure.

These checklist selections are not saved after you leave or reload the page. You can print or save as PDF through your browser without creating an account.
