With their broader
educational preparation, the
baccalaureate-prepared registered nurse functions at a higher level than a
vocational or associate degree nurse and often moves quickly into a
leadership position. Registered Nurses must graduate from accredited
programs and must pass the National Council of Licensure Examination for
Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). The UTA BSN program is accredited by the
National League for Nursing and prepares graduates to pass the NCLEX-RN
with all the competencies recommended by the Board of Nurse Examiners for
the State of Texas.

| Curriculum | The
curriculum reflects current health care trends and the role of the
registered nurse in today's health care system.
Introductory nursing courses are offered at the Freshman level and students can declare nursing as their major and begin building a relationship with the school and nursing advisors. In the Sophomore year, students begin take three nursing courses: Pharmacology, Patho, and Concepts and these courses must be completed with a passing grade before acceptance into the upper division courses. The admission requirements provide a foundation for the nursing major. The upper division nursing curriculum for the BSN Program is divided into four semesters to provide continuity, sequence and integration in the learning experiences. Admission to the upper division nursing courses is competitive with only the top 100 applicants accepted each fall and spring semester. Clinical nursing courses are taught in a sequential manner; therefore, clinical courses in one semester may not be taken without completion of the clinical course in the preceding semester. To provide learning experiences for the student, a variety of institutions and agencies are utilized. The larger metropolitan hospitals as well as smaller community hospitals provide the student an opportunity for clinical nursing practice. The School utilizes numerous community agencies including public schools, home health agencies, planned parenthood centers, nursing homes, and day care centers to broaden the student's clinical experience. In the clinical area, the student applies theoretical nursing concepts to patient care. The nursing process is applied in every clinical area as a framework for acquiring new information, identifying patient needs, assisting the patient in meeting the needs, and in evaluating the end product. By utilizing the nursing process at increasing levels of complexity, each individual student can integrate concepts of the curriculum into nursing practice. |
