RETENTION IN THE ACCELERATED PROGRAM
Failure of a student to earn a “C” or better
(progressive grade) in a professional nursing course will
result in automatic suspension from the professional
nursing program. If an accelerated student fails or drops
a nursing course (or courses) or makes a non-progressive
grade in a nursing course, that student will have a choice
of three options.
1. The student may choose to apply for readmission
and, if accepted, repeat the non-progressive nursing
course(s) and additional courses as recommended
by the Admissions and Academic Standards
Committee with the next accelerated class.
2. The student may apply for readmission in the next
accelerated class and, if accepted, start from the
beginning in the accelerated program.
3. The student may complete all prerequisites for the
traditional program and apply for readmission into
the traditional program.
Students who desire readmission to the professional
program after being suspended, resigning or withdrawing
from the accelerated professional nursing program
must submit an application for readmission through the
School of Nursing Admissions and Academic Standards
Committee.
Students enrolled in the professional program of the
School of Nursing are responsible and accountable for
their actions related to patient care. In addition, a score
of 80% on a dosage calculation test and a score of 100%
on a drug safety test is required before each clinical. If
appropriate scores are not achieved by the third test,
the student must drop all nursing courses. The faculty in
the course involved and the Director have the right and
responsibility to impose sanctions on a student whose
conduct in the clinical setting is detrimental to patient
welfare. Sanctions can include suspension from the
course with a grade of “F” and may result in permanent
suspension (dismissal) from the School of Nursing.

RN TO BSN CURRICULUM PLAN
The School of Nursing provides an ONLINE
opportunity for registered nurses to be admitted into
the baccalaureate degree program. Graduates in
nursing from NLNAC accredited and state-approved
diploma and associate degree programs who have an
unencumbered license to practice may be awarded
forty semester credit hours based on current licensure
at the time of admission. Applicants for admission to
the professional program, in addition to meeting the
requirements for admission to the University, must fulfill
the requirements of the pre-nursing curriculum. An
applicant to the RN program must possess a minimum,
corrected cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in all
required pre-nursing courses excluding grades earned in
developmental courses. No entrance exam is required.
Part-time and full-time study is available. This curriculum
is a part of the GOLD program.
RETENTION IN THE RN TO BSN PROGRAM
Failure of a student to earn a “C” or better (progressive
grade) in a professional nursing course will result in
automatic probation from the professional nursing program.
Students who desire readmission after being on
probation, suspended, resigning, or withdrawing from the
professional nursing program must submit an application
for readmission through the School of Nursing Admissions
and Academic Standards Committee. Students who have
earned a non-progressive grade in a required nursing
course may be readmitted to repeat that course only one
time and, in addition, may be readmitted to repeat courses
in only two semesters. Readmission is not automatic, and
must be reconsidered on an individual basis.
Students enrolled in the professional program of
the School of Nursing are responsible and accountable
for their actions related to patient care. The faculty in
the course involved and the Director have the right and
responsibility to impose sanctions on a student whose
conduct in the clinical setting is detrimental to patient
welfare. Sanction can include suspension from the
course with a grade of “F” and may result in permanent
suspension (dismissal) from the School of Nursing.
The total number of hours required for the degree is
121. Thirty (30) hours must be earned through instruction
offered by the University of Louisiana at Monroe.
