Acceptance of credit for transfer courses is determined by the Chairperson of the Department, once official transcripts have been received. Several articulation agreements have been signed with associate degree programs in nursing. Course descriptions may be requested by the appropriate department chairperson to determine if courses meet specific curriculum requirements. Completed transfer of credit forms become a part of the students' record. Part time study for prerequisite and elective courses is available to registered nurses through the day school, continuing education, the Encore Program and summer school.
Faculty are available to advise prospective students upon request.
Registered nurses entering the Department through the Encore Program or through transfer admissions must meet the same requirements as other students, namely a 2.5 cumulative average and a 2.5 science cumulative average. A photocopy of current nursing license, current CPR certification and insurance coverage must be submitted to the Department, and a record of continuous coverage for both documents must be provided according to expiration dates. Registered nurses are encouraged to utilize the opportunity to gain credit for previous learning through CLEP or equivalency examinations. I Lab or General Chem. I 3 33-312 Concepts of Prof. Nsg.
