Course Sequencing and Concurrent Enrollment Guidelines

To ensure timely progression through the BSN program, students must follow the prescribed course sequence and enroll in designated courses concurrently during the third, fourth and fifth semesters.

Third Semester

  • NURS 363: Mental Health Nursing and NURS 368: Nursing Care of Adults II must be taken concurrently.
  • NURS 364: Care of Children and Families and NURS 362: Care Coordination & Healthcare Delivery must be taken concurrently.

Fourth Semester

  • NURS 455: Population-Focused Nursing Practice and NURS 456: Nursing Care Women & Families must be taken concurrently.
  • NURS 468: Nursing Care of Adults III and NURS 461: Care of Adults through the Lifespan must be taken concurrently.

Fifth Semester (for some students this will be the fourth “summer” semester)

  • NURS 498: Clinical Synthesis and NURS 488: Leadership in Care Delivery should not be registered for concurrently.

Students will complete these courses in separate bi-terms. Both courses cannot be taken at the same time.
This applies to all students, including December graduates and those in fall-start cohorts.

Note:

  • Students should reach out to their academic nursing advisor if they have questions about course sequencing or registration.
  • It may be necessary to move students from one bi-term to another based on clinical site availability. When these adjustments occur, students who registered last in a particular course/bi-term will be the individuals moved to the other section.
  • All students will have a spot in the required courses; however, these changes are sometimes necessary to ensure equitable clinical experiences for all students.
