The pre-professional requirements for admission to schools of nursing vary.
Most schools require or recommend at least one year of college coursework.
Other electives must be approved by the individual nursing school. Most nursing schools do not require and do not accept courses from kinesiology. Schools that require or accept such courses normally accept only two or three hours of kinesiology courses. Many nursing schools also require that students be certified in first aid and CPR before admittance to a nursing program.
