A student considering a career as a professional nurse should have a sincere desire to be of help to those experiencing disease as well as the ability to deal with the increasingly complex technology of modern medicine. The professional nurse provides and documents direct care, monitors the patient, manages and coordinates care, collaborates with other health care professionals and serves as patient advocate.

The following curriculum is submitted as a guide, only indicating basic courses. It is suggested that students check the catalog of the particular college of nursing they plan to attend and modify this curriculum accordingly.

This program does not include introductory nursing courses and, therefore, a student completing the program at Bismarck State College would not be enrolled as a junior until the missing courses were completed at the college of nursing. Students who complete the requirements earn an Associate in Science degree from BSC.

High School students who plan to enter BSC and follow a registered nursing curriculum should take biology, chemistry and the appropriate mathematics courses in high school. Students who do not have the appropriate high school courses should expect to spend longer than two years at BSC to complete the courses listed below.

Career possibilities: Nursing, Nursing Education, Administration, Home Health Care, Patient Advocate.
