Transferring to St. Francis College Nursing Program

I'm thinking of transferring to the nursing program at St. Francis College. Does anyone know if there are specific requirements or a process I need to follow?

Absolutely! While I can't provide St. Francis College's specific Nursing Program transfer details, I can guide through an outline to help you with your application.

First off, you'll definitely need to complete an application for transfer admission to the college itself. Selecting "Nursing (B.S.N.)" as your major would put you in line for the nursing program. Along with the application, typical admission requirements for transfer students include official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions you've attended.

The nursing program at many colleges often has competitive admission due to limited spots available. Your GPA will likely be a significant factor. While minimum GPAs vary, a competitive GPA is generally 3.0 or higher.

Pre-requisite coursework is also a critical component of many nursing program applications. These might include courses in Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, Statistics, and others. It would be beneficial for you to have completed these courses, with good grades, before your application.

A few institutions also require a personal essay and letters of recommendation. The essay will give you the chance to articulate your interest in nursing and any relevant experiences you've had thus far.

Finally, some programs may require a personal interview or a Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) score.

While the above is typical for many nursing transfer applications, be sure to contact the Admissions Office at St. Francis College directly. They will provide you with the most accurate and comprehensive information based on their specific requirements.
