Pre-Nursing

Nursing is one of the most rewarding and challenging health professions you can choose. Beyond the personal satisfaction of treating patients with care and compassion, the nursing profession often provides many choices of where and when to work, areas of specialization, and opportunities for advancement. Our program provides individual advising to help students plan and apply for nursing school after completing a liberal arts education. Students interested in nursing careers should consult the program coordinator early in their time at Washington. Those who have noted their interest in considering a career in nursing will become aware of expectations, requirements, procedures, and deadlines associated with the program. 
 
Upon graduation, students who completed the pre-nursing program are prepared to earn a bachelor of science in nursing degree (BSN) from an accelerated program elsewhere, or choose to attend a direct entry master of science in nursing degree (MSN) program.
