 Return to: Programs of Study
The Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing undergraduate program of study combines liberal arts and professional nursing education with a humanistic and comprehensive approach to health care, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Nursing. At the completion of this generic program, students are eligible to take the National Council of State Boards Licensing Examination for RNs (NCLEX-RN). The undergraduate program also provides a foundation for graduate study. The Generic Program consists of two parts:
- Non-nursing (liberal arts and core requirements)
- Nursing (professional nursing education)
Students are considered for admission to the school of nursing for the fall semester only, after completing non-nursing pre-requisite courses and an application. Only students admitted to the School of Nursing are permitted to declare nursing as their major. Students admitted to the School of Nursing are required to attend the program on a full-time basis.

Note: Students who fail a core prerequisite course in a nursing sequence may not proceed to the next course in the sequence without repeating the failed course. In order to continue in the Nursing major, students must receive minimum grades of “C” in all required nursing courses. Students who receive a grade of “D” or lower, or who fail any segment of a clinical nursing course or lab will be allowed to repeat the course or segment only once. Students who fail a second required nursing course or clinical lab/segment will be dismissed from the nursing program. This policy applies even if a grade appeal is in progress. Students who fail the clinical portion of a course will receive an “F” for the entire course, regardless of the corresponding theory grade. Leave of Absence Policy and Reserved Placement in a Clinical Course
A reserved placement in a clinical/field course will be held for the student for only one year from the date of the leave of absence. It is the responsibility of the student to submit to the undergraduate program director a letter of intent, one semester prior to returning to the program and enrolling in the course (April 1 for a fall course). Students who fail to follow this procedure release the School of Nursing from reserving a clinical/field placement in a course for the student. |
