Prerequisite coursework
Hamline University does not offer a degree program leading to nursing licensure. Students at Hamline who are interested in pursuing advanced nursing degrees should major in 生物学, 公共卫生, or exercise science for their undergraduate degree.
护理 programs differ widely in their prerequisite coursework requirements. We advise students to check the requirements for the program of their choice prior to selecting their undergraduate course schedule.
应用ing to nursing school
You must have a registered nurse (RN) license to practice nursing. After completing a bachelor’s degree at Hamline, you can take several paths to obtain an RN license:
- Join an accelerated nursing program designed for people who already have a BA or BS in other areas. These programs last between 11 和 18 months.
- Pursue a master's degree in nursing (MSN) through a graduate program designed for students who completed BA or BS degrees. These programs last three years 和 usually prepare students to earn a nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist license.
Most nursing programs require a minimum of 100 hours of health care experience in a place where you can see nurses at work before you can apply. They also often prioritize community service 和 leadership experience. Letters of recommendation, preferably from a nurse, are required.
