Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi BSN Nursing Reviews

Nursing program

• Traditional is the pre-licensure nursing path for the individual who wants to earn their BSN degree while preparing to emerge as a Registered Nurse but have not completed an associate or even diploma training program in nursing. The traditional (face-to-face) path is completed on the TAMUCC campus in classrooms/labs and is five semesters in duration.
• Pupils in the nursing major are designated a faculty mentor by the Dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences. If unfortunately, the faculty mentor-student assignment is ineffective, the student or perhaps the faculty associate can request a change in assignment. First-year students and also sophomore students pursuing the pre-nursing curriculum are also designated a nursing faculty mentor.
