The UNMC College of Nursing Northern Division will provide guaranteed early admission for qualified students.<\/p>\n<p>Wayne State College students complete the first two years of the BSN at WSC and then finish the BSN at UNMC&rsquo;s Northern Division. The early admission pathway is open to all students in-state and out-of-state.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to standard criteria, early admission requires WSC undergraduate students to have successfully completed required prerequisite courses, have a GPA of at least 3.3, and meet with a student services coordinator each semester. Other features of the BSN program will include joint advising, rigorous coursework and co-curricular activities with UNMC faculty while at Wayne State College.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We are thrilled about this opportunity for students and to work with Wayne State College to help boost the BSN pipeline in Nebraska,&quot; said UNMC College of Nursing Dean Juliann Sebastian, PhD. &quot;The program will strengthen opportunities for seamless progression from pre-nursing coursework to the baccalaureate degree.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Liane Connelly, PhD, assistant dean of the UNMC College of Nursing Northern Division said the college is excited to continue its partnership with Wayne State. &quot;The Early Admission Pathway complements the accelerated BSN partnership and the traditional pre-nursing pathways between Wayne State and UNMC, which together have launched the successful health care careers of thousands of graduates,&quot; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Our joint program with UNMC underscores the longstanding relationship between our two institutions and the trust that UNMC has in our preparation of students for health care careers,&quot; said Wayne State College President Marysz Rames, PhD. &quot;We know many of our students want to be a nurse but may not be sure of how to get there. Here is a clear and simple path to a career in nursing.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Ron Loggins, PhD, dean of WSC&rsquo;s School of Science, Health, and Criminal Justice, said admission to nursing programs has become highly competitive and students are looking for opportunities to connect to a future professional program.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;They are also looking for academic pathways that provide assurances that they will be prepared for nursing school,&quot; Dr. Loggins said. &quot;Our partnership with UNMC and flexible pathways allow both traditional and non-traditional students to prepare for a career in nursing. Nurses are a key participant in the patient care team and I&rsquo;m proud to say that Wayne State College is helping students achieve their goal of becoming a nurse. This will guarantee a seat in a premier nursing program.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Applications are being accepted &shy;&shy;&shy;&shy;now for the fall 2022 semester. Guaranteed spaces will be made available each academic year for this early admission pathway agreement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New
