The curriculum is a combination of science, math and nursing courses designed to give you a well-rounded education and to prepare you to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. Nursing students at MSU will learn by doing, not only through clinical practicums, but in the department's state-of-the-art simulation lab. In the lab, computerized mannequins can mimic a number of illnesses and symptoms, and respond to treatments administered by students.The BSN Pre-Licensure program has a selective admissions process, and a limited number of students are accepted each year.?
