What are your program requirements?

Specializes in Clinicals.

I'm fairly new here and I'm not sure whether or not there was already a post like this but... I'm curious as to what the pre-reqs and other requirements are/were for everyone's program.

Here are mine:

ENG 121 (Composition)

Math (Any level III Math course)

CHEM 120 (FUndamentals of Organic and Biochemistry)

PSY 101 (Gen. Psychology)

PSY 253 (Lifespan Human Growth and Development)

ANTH 135 (Intro. to Cultural Anthro) OR

SOC 105 (Intro. to Sociology)

A&P I and A&P II

Minimum GPA 2.8 for Pre-requisite courses. (But lowest accepted last year was a 3.5) Admits 80 students each Fall out of about 300 applicants.

Rank-ordering of applicants' GPA for the 8 pre-requisite courses starting with 4.0. No entrance exam.

I will be applying January 1, 2007.

A&P 1 & 2

Pharmacology

Nutrition

Microbiology

Composition 1

Gen. Psychology

Child Growth & Development

Sociology

I hope I will be applying in January. I am taking Pharmacology starting next Thursday, which will be very hard. I am planning to take Child Growth/Development Summer 2 semester and Nutrition and A&P 2 next Fall. If I get a B in Pharmacology, I will be very happy. I will give it everything I have. I will only have 4 weeks. It should be 5, but with the last class being on July 4, I dont think they will have class that day. The final is comprehinsive. :chair: There will be so much to learn.

-Composition and Rhetoric

-Issues of the Older Adult

-Intro to Nursing

-General Psychology

-Intro to Sociology

-Mth1100 or higher (3 credits)

-Any 3 credit communications course

-Two 3 credit art/humanity courses - I'll be taking developmental psychology and contemporary ethics

Then you have to either take Zoology or Intro to Anatomy to advance into the biology prereqs, which are:

A&P I, A&P II, and Microbiology.

Then 4 semesters of nursing courses once accepted.

We don't have a streamlined way of being accepted. Alot of factors go into it though. (1) county of residence, (2) program GPA, (3) ACT score and (4) number of courses completed when petitioning are usually considered first. Ultimately it's up to the college, though. Sometimes lower GPAs get picked over perfect ones..

I Guess I Consider My Self Blessed. We Have No Prereqs. You Have To Take The Pax/nln Entrance Exam, Make 55 And Have At Least A 2.75 Gpa. No Waiting List, If You Meet That You Are In. All Classes Are Mixed In With Nursing, Luckily For Me I Went To Community College First For General Education So I Only Have Nursing Classes Left. I Love Alabama.

How do they determine a 2.75 GPA without prereqs? Is this LPN or RN? I don't think that the LPN programs near me have any prereqs, but the RN programs do.

Good luck to you:)

This Is A University So Gpas Are From High School Or Previous College Credit. First Time Students Have A Hard Time Because Their First Semester Is 5-6 Classes. Usually Eng 101, Psy 101, Math 110, A&p I, Fundamentals Of Nursing W/lab, And Pharmacology. That Is Pretty Extreme. So Since I Took All Of That I Will Only Have Nursing Lasses, Thank God.

I'm in a BSN program, having two years of prereqs and two years of strictly nursing courses. Our prereqs:

-Chem

-Nutrition

-College Algebra

-Statistics

-Eng Comp I & II

-Psych

-Human Development

-Sociology

-Bioethics

-Economics

-History

-Interpersonal Communication

I liked doing the program this way because I was able to take all of my prereqs at community colleges and then transfer for the last two years (no wait list) and end up with a BSN.

Specializes in Telemetry/Med Surg.

The only pre-req I needed was Chemistry.

We took Anatomy, Physiology, Micro, Psych, etc. while in nursing school although it was much less of a workload if you had taken them before.
