Pre-Health Track Advising
Pre-Health is a career designation where students complete a curriculum of classes and requirements for admission to the Traditional BSN program. Students interested in applying for the Traditional BSN program will be placed on the Pre-Health track as their 'major' while completing prerequisites for the BSN program. Once the student is accepted and admitted into the Traditional BSN program, their major will switch to Nursing.
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 Education 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:
