The Pre-Nursing Pathway at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø is designed for students who wish to meet the requirements to apply to Nursing schools, specifically in the state of Oregon and possibly elsewhere in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Pre-Nursing program at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø is not a formal academic program, nor associated with any specific major. Students who are interested in Nursing programs should speak with the admissions and program advisors about the different paths and options leading to a degree in Nursing. Application requirements, including course prerequisites, GPA, and experience, can vary by school and type of program.<\/p>\n
An ideal path for students interested in common BSN programs in Oregon, is to declare a Certificate in Pre-Nursing. However, students should meet with the program advisor for additional questions. Students who are interested in doing an accelerated post-baccalaureate program, should meet with a student success coordinator for assistance in choosing an appropriate major within their department. As nursing schools are highly competitive, it is encouraged that students align their curriculum with an academic major, while satisfying the nursing prerequisite requirements. Additional requirements are typically extracurricular such as volunteer or work experience.<\/p>\n
