What are the prerequisites for enrolling in a Nursing program?
The prerequisites can vary depending on the level and type of program:
- ADN Programs: Typically require a high school diploma or GED. Some programs may require prerequisite courses in subjects like biology, chemistry, and algebra.
- BSN Programs: Generally require a high school diploma with coursework in science and math. Some programs may require standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) and prerequisite college coursework.
- MSN Programs: Require a BSN from an accredited program, an active RN license, and often some clinical experience. Some programs may also require GRE scores.
- DNP and PhD Programs: Usually require a master's degree in nursing, although some programs offer a BSN-to-DNP or BSN-to-PhD track. Clinical experience and a current RN license are also required.
