Nursing, BSN - Alternative Pre-Licensure Pathway

Wright State University

The Wright State University College of Nursing and Health undergraduate nursing program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) degree. An honors program is available for students with superior academic ability. The program offers two on-campus pre-licensure pathways to the B.S.N. based on student qualifications: (1) the traditional pathway for students who are admitted to the program in their sophomore year or direct admit from high school and (2) the alternative pre-licensure pathway for students who have prior health care related experience/training including but not limited to military medical training, Emergency Medical training (EMT), training as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), or students holding a bachelor of science degree and also have direct patient care experience. Options 1 is offered both at the Dayton and the Lake campuses. Option 2 is offered on the Dayton campus only. The professional nurse is increasingly being viewed as the nucleus of the health care system, as well as serving as an advocate for health care consumers. Therefore, Wright State's program prepares self-directed graduates who can function as generalists in a number of settings and work in collaboration with other health professionals to coordinate and improve the health care of individuals, families, and communities.
