Nursing Programs
Undergraduate nursing education includes Associate in Science in Nursing (ASN) with Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) completion program. Students seeking initial licensure as a registered nurse must apply for entry into the ASN program. Students accepted to the ASN program will matriculate into the BSN completion program, without the need for reapplication, upon successful completion of the ASN. In order to remain in the BSN completion program, students must obtain RN licensure and graduate with the ASN per department policy. Students seeking initial licensure in nursing should contact a pre-nursing advisor for additional program information and application processes. Licensed nurses should contact the Department of Nursing advisor for information regarding the BSN completion and Master of Science in Nursing programs.
The ASN program prepares the graduate to function individually as a member of the healthcare team in structured healthcare settings in which clients have common health problems. The BSN completion program prepares graduates to design, coordinate and manage healthcare, to assume leadership roles, to enter graduate education in nursing, and to develop leadership and management skills. The Master of Science in Nursing program prepares graduates as educators in both academic and clinical areas.
Information to consider, regarding the demands and performance requirements of nursing as a career, is available on our website at www.uvu.edu/nursing.
Admission Requirements
Admission to a nursing program is required in order to enroll in any nursing course. Admission to any of the nursing programs is by competitive application and is contingent upon satisfactory results of both a federal criminal background check and a drug screen. The Department of Nursing has sole discretion to deny acceptance based upon the information contained in either of these two reports. For students where English is a second language, admission is also contingent upon current TOEFL scores, which must be at or above the required minimum levels set by the Department of Nursing.
Please contact the appropriate advisors for information and current admission requirements. Also see our website at www.uvu.edu/nursing.
