Welcome Future Nurses


The Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree begins for each future nurse as a Bachelor of University Studies Health Sciences major with a Pre-Nursing concentration. The Health Sciences degree plan, when paired with the pre-nursing concentration, allows students to complete the pre-admission requirements needed to be eligible to apply to the School of Nursing. Students typically complete 16 hours per semester or five classes each long semester. Students who would like a slower progression may opt to take summer sessions.

The two final courses a student will complete are Pathophysiology and Theories of Nursing, which will likely be in progress during the application process.

I was the professional staff advisor for the pre-admission advising (formerly known as pre-nursing advisor) within the University’s undergraduate advising office from 2013 to 2019. I handled mandatory advising holds and registration while assisting students with degree plan completion-related questions.

I enrolled students each semester according to the BSN Curriculum Plan.
