PRE-LICENSURE
BSN PROGRAM
The Bachelor of Science in
Nursing program offers the Pre-Licensure option for individuals with
no previous nursing background.
The first two years of the
program consist of Pre-Nursing science and general education requirements.
Upon completion of the Pre-Nursing
curriculum, the student may apply for admission to the Nursing major.
The Nursing
curriculum provides the student with classroom and clinical instruction
in basic nursing skills, med-surg, home health, critical care, mental
health, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, community health, research,
and leadership & management, culminating with a senior clinical
study in an area of the student's interest.
Upon completion of the program, the student is eligible to sit for the
NCLEX (RN licensure exam) and will have a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing
degree.
