Just curious as to what everyone needs for their nursing program. Right now I'm going to Long Island University in NY, a private university for my BSN.
Biology - Life: It's Origin, Maintenace & Future I & II
Anatomy & Physiology
Microbiology
General Chemistry
Intro to Organic & Biochemistry
Developmental Psychology I & II
Statistics or Statistics in Psychology
HESI A2 Vocab, Grammar, Reading Comprehension and Math.
Pre-reqs for the school I applied to, Central Carolina Tech:
- SAT (minimum Verbal 510 and Math 510) or ACT (minimum 22 composite)
- Completion and grade of C or higher in high school or college prep courses in biology and chemistry
- GPA of 2.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale in Health Sciences Preparatory certificate (Must complete Biology 210, (Anatomy and Physiology I), English 101, (English Composition I), and MAT 101, (Beginning Algebra), with a "C" or higher PRIOR to admission application to clinical nursing courses (NUR 101, 106).
Seven prereqs: Micro, Anatomy, Physiology, OChem, Sociology, Psychology and Speech.
Health care experience: at least 60 hours as a volunteer or any hands-on experience work related to healthcare.
Must score over 75 on TEAS.
This is a point-system, so all these have points that equal to 77 possible, with minimum cutoff being around 64-65 points. Once you gain acceptance into the program, you must have:
MMR (2 series)
Hep B (3 series)
Polio (3 series)
Tetorifice (3 series)
Completed BLS for Healthcare Providers course good for at least one year of nursing school before renewal.
At my univesity we have five pre-req classes I am in a BSN program at a somewhat large University:
Speech
Psych
Chem
A&P
English
There is huge list of other classes/things that have to be done before you graduate but admission is based on your GPA in those 5 pre-req classes and on your TEAS test.
