The registered nurse student is recognized as an adult learner who comes with a diversity of life experiences, education and clinical expertise, as well as motivation and ability to learn independently and collaboratively. To facilitate advanced placement, opportunity is provided for students to validate previously acquired educational and clinical competencies.
The nursing program, accredited by the National League for Nursing , is open to all registered nurses who meet admission requirements. The registered nurse student may enroll on either a full-time or part-time basis.
To apply for admission to the B.S. for R.N. track, students should submit the following with a completed admission form and fee:
1. Official transcripts from high school, nursing school and other colleges attended.
2. A copy of current Pennsylvania Registered Nurse License.
Transcripts are individually reviewed and evaluated. Transfer courses, especially courses in the sciences, must be equivalent to courses in the nursing program at the University of Scranton (science courses taken at a non-degree program are accepted if they were taken at an affiliated college and received college credit); a grade of C or better must have been earned. If chemistry courses to be transferred do not have sufficient biochemistry, in the opinion of the faculty, the student may challenge Chem. 111 or enroll in the course.
