The focus of the B.S. in Nursing curriculum is to prepare you to be generalists in nursing - the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems. Nursing courses center around the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health. Clinical experiences are integrated into the curriculum.
The nursing curriculum is divided into two parts:
- The first part consists of approximately two years of prerequisite course work. As you are nearing completion of this course work, you can apply for admission to the Nursing Major. This is a competitive process and applications are accepted twice a year. Not all applicants are guaranteed admission. Make an appointment to meet with your advisor to make sure you are eligible to apply for the Nursing Major.
Application to Nursing Major - The second part is the 60 credits in the Nursing Major, also referred to as "clinicals." This consists of advanced science and nursing courses, skills practice, and hands-on training in health care facilities. Full-time students take two years to complete this portion of the program.
Upon completion of the UWM nursing program requirements, students earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. At that time you will be eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
