I think is proof and also I though vaccines are submitted after admission is given, also have you applied already? 
I'm waiting to be done with my last prerequisite which our final is next week in order to 

You'll provide proof of vaccines after you get waitlisted/accepted to the program. 
 

We have to provide lab titer results for some of the vaccines.

I HIGHLY recommend looking into the Texas Two Step Nursing program through Medical City if you are worried about not being accepted into Collins program. You will not be competing against hundreds of other applicants. You only compete against other employees at medical city that are applying for the program as well. I'm not saying it's easier to be accepted because you have to work hard and still have good/decent grades, but it is beneficial that there is a set amount of spots reserved for medical city workers... Honestly this dream would not of been possible for me without the program.

The thing with this is that you have to commit to work at medical city and not everyone applying is from the area. Also you have to apply to their BSN college which is Arizona college. Make sure you're ready to commit to that hospital and that particular school.

Oh and also you have to work for medical city while in the program for at least 20 hours a week.

I'm not sure if international students are able to be in the program, but if you can call the director Mr. Huey and ask. His contact information is on the website for the Texas two step nursing program. I am also a current student at Collin college and full time employee

The policy was recently changed to which you only have to work 1 shift a week which is 12 hours for 6 months to qualify. For a program that pays the entire bill, it's not a bad trade off.

@LolaJohn where did you find that it said that you had to do a BSN through Arizona state? I was told by the director that I could do it through A&M or any university that offers it.

Plus clinicals are held at medical city McKinney, so students will spend a lot of time at that hospital anyway
