Welcome to the official Whitson-Hester School of Nursing Facebook page! Our goals are to provide opportunities for our alumni to stay in touch and for current students and friends of the school to remain current on school events and happenings.
The Whitson-Hester School of Nursing offers a four-year program of study leading to a baccalaureate degree in nursing (B.S.N.). Graduates from this program are eligible to write the licensure examination and, upon receiving satisfactory scores, become registered nurses (RN). The curriculum in the School of Nursing is designed to accommodate individuals with baccalaureate and master's degrees in fields other than nursing, as well as registered nurses who have nursing diplomas or associate degrees.
The Upper Division nursing courses, along with the Lower Division foundation courses, are designed to prepare graduates as generalists in nursing. Graduates are prepared to practice in a variety of professional roles in diverse health care settings.
The program (curriculum) objectives for the School of Nursing are the outcomes or behaviors the student will achieve upon completion of the program. Graduates of the program have the foundation for graduate study for advanced practice in nursing.
Nursing students are an integral part of the undergraduate student body of the University. They share with other university students in arts and sciences, education, business, agriculture, home economics, and engineering in all aspects of the academic, social, and cultural life of the campus.
