Malcolm X College City Colleges of Chicago School of Nursing - Spring 2026

[PennyDar]

Hello everyone! I wanted to start this thread for those of us applying to the Malcolm X College ADN Program for Spring 2026. This can be a place where we share updates on applications and requirements, ask questions, exchange information, and support each other along the way. I'm really looking forward to connecting with you all and going through this journey together. 🌷

With only 2/3 weeks left before classes are supposed to start, we still have nothing concrete to go off of. My job has been waiting on an answer from me because they know my schedule will change for school & they want to prepare, yet I don't even have an answer to give them since I myself am still searching for clarity. This entire process has felt extremely last minute, which is beyond frustrating.

Hello.. already accepted the LPN offer but not sure what to do next... should I be waiting for an email on when they need the tb and drug screen or should I be reaching out to anyone?

Any have any advice?

Hello! Did anyone who get directors denial, received a letter of explanation of the decision?

Hey everyone. 
does anyone know if uniforms have to be bought from the school? Or can they just be navy?

also, for castle branch, some of my documents expire I believe March. Should we just get them done now before expiration? I asked the school and all they replied was "CastleBranch will let you know what's expired.” That didn't answer my question at all. So if anyone has advise or know the answer please let me know. 
I think it's crazy how they reached out to us so late and now only gave us 5 days to get drug testing and any last minute questions because it's holidays and not many facilities are open or have appointments.

Anyone able to order they're uniform yet? I try following the Link on the email but it says deactivated 10/25

[User7777]

Hey, the only way I was able to order mine was through the online store where we get our books, just searched Nursing Uniform and theres an option for the PN click that and all the uniforms should pop up, just a heads up to anyone that didn't know like myself. Even though the uniform are a requirement, we have to pay out of pocket for them. I did not know that

[Leticia Moran]

Thank you! Just ordered mine however I only ordered one, I'm hoping we can use outside scrubs as long as they are embroidered.

[User7777]

Your welcome! I ordered only one as well for now, and I believe we can purchase scrubs outside of school as long as they are embroidered, some of the girls in the previous cohorts were mentioning they did

Same, I heard they can be ordered else where so that's what I did! Does anyone know where we get the patch or do we get it at orientation?

[User7777]

Im honestly not even sure, I was going to get my scrubs elsewhere as well but the patch part had me confused too so I just went and ordered on the school site 

[Masearte Abraha]

I hate that everything is last minute... I received the email on the 22nd but I was off from work all week due to being sick and the holiday's. I was going to order mine but it says it won't be delivered until Wednesday and the mandatory orientation is on Monday/ Tuesday. I can't even call the office or my advisor because the school is closed 😕
