Pre-Nursing
Overview
腦瞳憫 strives to ensure that all students preparing for a nursing program understand the time constraints involved when trying to juggle a difficult course schedule and personal goals. Admission into most nursing programs is highly competitive. Pre-Nursing advisement provides students with the general academic background to be successful in their chosen health care field.
Nursing programs within the state of Texas require that students take a series of prerequisite courses in order to meet admission criteria. The Pre-Nursing program at 腦瞳憫 consists of nine prerequisite courses and additional TX Core Curriculum courses.
Students are strongly encouraged to consult with the College of Health Sciences-Pre-Nursing advisor prior to undertaking the Pre-Nursing curriculum to be certain all course requirements are met in the required time-frame.
