Investigating nursing programs

Due to the limited capacity of WSU's College of Nursing, it is important to consider other nursing programs as well. While most nursing schools generally require similar coursework and admission requirements, some variation can arise within particular schools and programs.  While pre-nursing advisors are well-versed in the admissions requirements for a large number of nursing programs, it is ultimately the student's responsibility to be aware of the requirements for all programs for which they plan to apply.
