NURSING PROGRAM

MSU-Bottineau is planning to offer the one-year nursing (PN) program in Bottineau and Rugby along with the two-year associate degree nursing (AND) program during the 2005-2006 academic year. The PN program is preparation for the LPN license exam and the ADN program is preparation for the RN licensure exam.

Students need to prepare for acceptance into the nursing program by completing the necessary pre-requisite courses. Pre-requisites for the PN program are as follows:
* High School Diploma or GED
* CNA certification in ND
* Current CPR certification for Health Care Providers
* College Composition I
* High School Algebra or equivalent
* An ACT score of 18 or COMPASS/ASSET test with equivalent score

Once applications are received, a screening committee reviews them and makes acceptance decisions. There are a minimum number of qualified students needed to offer the PN and ADN programs. If the target number of students is not met other options may have to be considered.

For more information on nursing programs at MSU-Bottineau, please contact Sandra Sund, Nursing Coordinator at 701 228-5449.
