Undergraduate Program

The Wilson School of Nursing offers curricula leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). There are two options in the BSN program, including - (1) a prelicensure option for students who do not have a license to practice as a Registered Nurse, and (2) the RN to BSN option for licensed RN’s who have graduated from hospital based programs (Diploma) or 2 year associate degree programs (ADN).

The undergraduate curriculum (BSN) includes general education courses which provide a foundation for understanding physiological, psychosocial, political and economic factors that may affect a person's health status. In addition, the nursing courses focus on nursing interventions that will provide clients with optimal health status. The nursing courses prepare the BSN graduate to provide holistic nursing care in a variety of complex environments that will enhance the optimal health of individuals, families, groups, and communities.

A Registered Nurse student has the option to pursue the RN to BSN or RN to MSN track with a flexible option designed to meet the needs of the working RN. Nursing classes are offered via distance learning methodologies with periodic visits to campus. Clinical experiences may be conducted in the geographical area in which the RN student resides.  Upon admission, the RN may choose either the RN to BSN or the RN to MSN track.

The BSN program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and the Board of Nurse Examiners for the State of Texas.

Midwestern State University Wilson School of Nursing, a partner in the West Texas Nursing Education Coalition (WTNEC), is participating in a Regional Application Portal (RAP) project funded by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.  This online portal will allow students to apply for admission to their self-selected choice of three schools of nursing in West Texas.  If students wishing to apply to the Wilson School of Nursing meet the criteria for admission and there is sufficient space, they will be admitted to MSU and will receive notification from the Wilson School of Nursing.  If, however, admission to MSU is not possible for that semester, the RAP will provide further options for schools in West Texas where space is available that semester.  STUDENTS ALWAYS HAVE THE CHOICE TO REAPPLY TO MSU for another semester.

Students wishing to apply to the Wilson School of Nursing must ALSO apply to the university through regular university processes.
