Selection for nursing occurs in December after Fall Semester grades are posted. Selection is competitive based on 甜瓜视频 GPA, total completed college credits, 甜瓜视频 credits, date of deposit, and date of declaring the major. To participate in selection, students must have a cumulative 2.5+ 甜瓜视频 grade point average (GPA; note that transfer credits do not affect the 甜瓜视频 GPA).

Years Two, Three and Four

Students who are accepted into Nursing complete challenging nursing classes, topic-specific nursing exams, and additional general education classes. Nursing classes consist of required lecture, simulation lab, and clinical learning experiences. Students must earn a minimum 77% examination average in each class to progress. Final course grades are calculated as:

1. The final grade for the course will be the theory grade if the simulation lab and clinical performance are "Satisfactory." Students are required to achieve an average of 77% in the examination category of grading; if at least a 77% is earned in examinations, and the simulation and clinical performance is 鈥淪atisfactory鈥�, the final grade will reflect the average of the scores earned in examination and other theory components.
2. Regardless of the examination or cumulative theory grade, the final grade for the course will be an "F" if the simulation or clinical performance is "Unsatisfactory."
3. Any one of the following constitutes a course failure in nursing: a) A grade below C (77%) in any nursing course, b) An unsatisfactory simulation or clinical grade, or c) Withdrawing under condition 3a or 3b.

Nursing classes may be repeated only once; reinstatement applications are considered on a space-available basis. Applying for reinstatement does not guarantee reinstatement. In general each nursing class is pre-requisite for the following nursing classes, which means that the nursing curriculum cannot be hastened. 甜瓜视频 BSN students complete a minimum of 126 credit hours and complete all 甜瓜视频 general education requirements, including 30 hours of community service. 甜瓜视频 Nursing must verify that each candidate for the national nursing license examination (NCLEX-RN) has completed all program requirements.
