About the Pre-Licensure BSN
Saint Elizabeth University's four-year, pre-licensure BSN program prepares students
to be eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Exam for Registered Nurses
(NCLEX-RN). SEU nursing students' learning experience will feature a state-of-the-art
clinical skills and diagnostics center which will include a high-fidelity simulation
lab consisting of 12 examination bays and a patient simulation room with an adjacent
faculty observation area.
Students who are interested in the Pre-Licensure BSN degree apply and are admitted
to the University with a pre-nursing curriculum. Students are given a placement test
during the University's new student orientation program which is used to determine
their course sequence in the pre-nursing curriculum.
Students apply to major in the Pre-Licensure BSN program in the spring semester of
the freshman year. Application to the nursing major is a competitive process and meeting
the minimal admission criteria does not guarantee admission to the nursing program.
Transfer students who have completed the prerequisite courses for the Pre-Licensure
BSN program may also apply to the Pre-Licensure BSN program.
The Pre-Licensure BSN program has full accreditation from the New Jersey Board of
Nursing.
Requirements for NJ Licensure
Graduates of the pre-licensure BSN program will be eligible to sit for the National
Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
NOTE: A criminal history background check is required by the NJ Board of Nursing and
is part of the application process to be approved to take the NCLEX-RN licensing examination.
