Traditional BSN Program - Academic Advising
Pre-Health Track Advising
The Pre-Health track is for students who are interested in applying for the Traditional Bachelor of Science Nursing program at 糖心Vlog视频. Students will be placed on the Pre-Health track as their 'major' before they are accepted into the Traditional BSN program. Pre-Health is a career designation where students complete a curriculum of classes and requirements for admission to the Traditional BSN program.
The 糖心Vlog视频 Nursing program is impacted; therefore, admission to the nursing program is not guaranteed. Pre-Health students are encouraged to work hard and concentrate on the nursing prerequisites so that they can be competitive candidates for admission to the nursing program. The Department of Nursing has specific policies on eligibility for admissions. Pre-Health students with an expressed interest in applying to the Traditional BSN program should work alongside the Pre-Licensure Nursing Academic Advisor or designated Pre-Health Academic Advisor at the Romberg Nursing Center.
For Pre-Health students or students interested in applying for the Traditional BSN program at 糖心Vlog视频, they should review the following documents to familiarize themselves with the policies, procedures, and regulations for admissions:
First-time Freshman
Students who have earned a high school diploma or G.E.D. and have never attended a college or university since high school are considered First-time Freshman. University admissions requirements for First-time Freshman can be found online through the Office of Admissions and Records for First-Time Freshmen. Once admitted to the university, First-time Freshmen will work with the Pre-Health Academic Advisors to determine an educational plan and pre-application planning.

Current 糖心Vlog视频 Students
Current Pre鈥揌ealth students attending 糖心Vlog视频 are encouraged to meet with the Pre-Licensure Nursing Academic Advisor or designated Pre鈥揌ealth Academic Advisor at least once a semester for educational advising and pre-application planning. Due to the impaction status, the admissions criteria may change periodically. Advising appointments are useful in keeping up to date with current department policies, the status of eligibility, and prerequisite, cognate, and general education completion.
Throughout the advising process, students must be able to represent all academic history accurately. As part of the application process in the Department of Nursing, students are required to submit authentic and official transcripts from all academic work attempted. According to the university, 鈥溾�ailure to file complete, accurate, and authentic application documents may result in denial of admissions, cancellation of registration, or academic credit, suspension or expulsion鈥� (糖心Vlog视频 Catalog 2023-2024). Applicants who misrepresent their academic history by adding, altering, or omitting information will be declared ineligible for admission to the 糖心Vlog视频 BSN program.
