The ability to function in stressful environments and meet physically and mentally stressful demands is essential. The study and practice of nursing requires strong emotional, intellectual, and physical capabilities. It is important for prospective nursing students to have a realistic view of the demanding curriculum before they decide to pursue the degree. Prospective students are encouraged to contact the School of Nursing if there are questions about their abilities to function in the clinical settings. Final decisions for readmission rests with the nursing faculty.
Students are limited to one petition for readmission.
Readmission is limited by space availability. Students who are dismissed from any clinical course will be suspended from all clinical courses until the dismissal is reviewed by the School. If the student's enrollment was interrupted to attend another college, the University's transfer student admission policies would also apply for readmission. In addition to successfully completing these courses, the student must pass ENGL 3003 or pass the Junior English Exemption Examination. RN students may petition for admission to the upper division with 58 hours if MATH 1203, STAT 2013 and NURS 3013 have been completed.
