Guidelines and policies can be obtained from the School of Nursing. ESL students should also be aware that they may not be able to complete the program of study within the described time frame. Individual advising is available and is directed toward assisting students to be successful. Non-Majors Enrolled in Nursing Classes Students who have not been admitted to the nursing major but who wish to enroll in nursing courses must obtain permission of the School of Nursing Undergraduate Admission and Academic Progress Committee or the dean. In addition to regular university costs, students must provide their own transportation between the university campus and the clinical areas beginning with the first nursing course.
Public transportation is limited, so provision for private transportation is essential.
Students are required to carry professional liability insurance in specified amounts during all periods of clinical experience. For basic students, this insurance is available under a group plan at a nominal cost to the student. The fee is identified with specific courses and is payable to the Business Office along with university tuition. Prerequisite courses may be taken at PLU or at most accredited community colleges. The curriculum plan and its implementation are designed to foster growth and to encourage initiative and self-direction on the part of students.
