Nursing

On our main Garden City campus, we have the opportunity to offer our nursing students uniquely tailored clinical experiences by simulating the hospital setting. Our nursing degree program does this through the latest tools and technology.

To apply for our nursing degree program, offered in fall and spring semesters, submit all required application materials and meet the following BSN program requirements:

• Cumulative GPA of 3.5 from all undergraduate college work completed after high school
• Passing scores from the ATI TEAS (Assessment Technologies Institute’s Test of Essential Academic Skills)
  • We require a minimum adjusted total score of 58.7 percent.
  • Students are allowed a maximum of three attempts in total for the ATI TEAS exam, with two attempts per admission cycle. There must be at least 45 days between the first and second attempts. If the second attempt is taken before the 45-day gap, it will still count as an attempt but will not be considered. A third attempt within the same admission cycle will also be disregarded.
  • If you have already taken the ATI TEAS exam twice, please contact the Office of University Admissions for advisement on when you should schedule your third and final attempt.
• If you have taken science prerequisite courses, a passing grade of C+ and above is required.
  • To be eligible for admission consideration, students are required to have achieved a minimum grade of C+ in all science prerequisite courses, with the exception of one (including repeats) in the past eight years.
  • All science prerequisite courses must have been taken within the past 10 years.

Students who meet the requirements listed above but have a cumulative GPA below 3.5 may be considered for the waitlist. Any prior grades in nursing courses will be taken into consideration. Students who have previously been dismissed from another nursing program will not be eligible.
