Traditionally, community college students have 3 transfer pathways to earn a bachelor of science in nursing:, traditional nursing transfer programs.
Students who do not want to take their clinical courses (the NUR courses) and want to work towards their Registered Nursing (RN) license at a four-year institution may want to pursue a "standard" nursing transfer pathway. These pathways are designed for students who do not have a previous nursing degree.
Students interested in this transfer option can take their non-nursing courses at the College of Southern Maryland.
These programs have different names at different institutions. For example, at various Maryland public colleges and universities these are called:
Often for these programs, students will need to be first admitted to their desired transfer destination. After the student is admitted to the institution, they traditionally will need to go through the process to petition for the Nursing program at that institution. Just because you are admitted to the college or university does not mean you are guaranteed admission into the Nursing program at that college or university.
Please note that if you are interested in one of these types of programs, it is important that you work with your desired transfer destination early in your college experience. Different programs will have different pre-requisite requirements. As well, colleges and universities have different timelines for petitioning for Nursing programs.
Through Associate-to-Bachelor's programs and Dual Admission Nursing Pathway, students have the opportunity to work towards their Bachelor of Science in Nursing while pursuing their Associate of Science in Nursing at the College of Southern Maryland.

HOW IT WORKS
Pre-Nursing and Clinical Nursing Portions
Pre-Nursing
Students begin the prelicensure program at WGU with their pre-nursing coursework. This includes general education courses, as well as introductory medical coursework. This allows students to satisfy required prerequisites for the clinical portion of the program.
Clinical Nursing
After finishing the pre-nursing portion of the program, students that have met progression requirements are eligible to progress into the clinical nursing portion of the program. This portion of the program contains more specific nursing coursework, as well as hands-on clinical experiences that are required for students to earn their Bachelors of Science in Nursing Degree and become eligible to sit for the RN licensure exam after graduation.
You will work with your WGU Program Mentor and Instructors to prepare for rigorous assessments, virtual-reality simulations, and high-fidelity simulations. Once you've successfully completed those, you will qualify to attend your agency-based clinical rotations. Expect to spend at least 30 hours or more per week on your studies, and in the completion of clinical rotations and simulation labs.
This program has a standard path and is paced to be completed in 8 terms or 4 years. Some students may be able to accelerate their pace with transfer credits.
Transferrable courses for the prelicensure program must have a minimum "C" grade or better to be approved for transfer credit.
The curriculum in WGU’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree is designed not only to prepare you to become a nurse, but to provide you with the skills to become an outstanding nurse, ready to contribute to a strong healthcare team and better patient outcomes.

Skills For Your Résumé
As part of this program, you will develop a range of valuable skills that employers are looking for.
“My heart is with the Prelicensure BSN students who have chosen the noble profession of nursing as a career. Should you choose WGU to prepare you, know that this is the university of the future: It is affordable, it's flexible, and it offers learning based in competencies rather than just class time.”

More About Prelicensure Nursing
Common Questions About the Prelicensure Program
The WGU BS Nursing Prelicensure program does not follow set start dates like other programs. We have sporadic start dates throughout the year within each geographic region inside each participating state. The clinical hospital partners that we work with determine when our cohorts will begin and the size of those cohorts. We encourage applicants to diligently work on completing their entire application to ensure they are eligible to be considered for as many cohort start dates as possible in their geographic area. You will only be considered for one start date at a time. Your Enrollment Counselor can provide specific location details.
Like most nursing programs, the B.S. Nursing Prelicensure program at WGU is competitive. WGU reviews a variety of factors when making an admission decision. WGU continues to focus on growth and this means obtaining new clinical hospital partnerships which allows us more space to enroll Nursing Prelicensure students.
WGU reviews a variety of factors when making a Holistic admissions decision. Healthcare experience will be factored into the Holistic admission decision but experience in the healthcare realm is not a requirement for admission.
At this time, we do not allow individuals to set up their own clinical arrangements. Clinical arrangements require a great deal of legal approval and contracts. WGU is committed to the growth of this program and we encourage you to check back in the future to see if we have expanded to your geographic area.
Unfortunately, you must be living in one of the following states to be eligible to apply for this program. Any applications from individuals living outside one of the states listed will not be accepted.

You simply pay for the term and do as much work as you can or want to during that time. This means that finishing faster helps you save money—a major benefit you won't find at most other schools.

In an effort to comply with the recommendations of the Joint commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the majority of the major healthcare facilities and agencies utilized by the College for clinical training require that each student undergo and pass a student background check & drug test prior to participating in clinical rotations. Each student, at his/her expense, is responsible for acquiring the student background check & drug test and authorizing the submission of results to the college.
No student will be permitted to participate in a clinical rotation until the results have been received, reviewed, and accepted by the designated program director. Failure to submit to and pass the required student background check & drug test will result in the student being terminated from the respective program.
Students accepted into certain programs, will be required to have a physical examination, a chest X-ray and/or PPD, lab tests, required immunizations, a criminal background check & drug test. These are required in order to comply with the program and clinical agencies' contractual requirements. Also, the following items are commonly required: a current American Heart Association CPR Certificate and liability insurance (certain limits apply). Most Health Sciences programs have a group policy available, or the students may purchase their own policy. All of the above will be completed at the student's expense. In most cases these items will be completed, with copies submitted, before the first day of the semester. Not submitting the required documentation may preclude the student's ability to continue in the program.
Details regarding these requirements may be obtained from the respective program.
