Academic Catalog

Bachelor of Science in Nursing

As a graduate nurse, you can apply for a position immediately into a variety of settings usually within an acute care hospitals. Nurses are in high demand and the majority of new graduates find gainful employment upon finishing their degree or soon afterwards. After gaining some bedside experiences nurses can work in employee health, home health, telehealth, nursing informatics and school nursing. Nurses can also return to graduate school to obtain a Masters degree in Nursing.

Marketable Skills

Students will develop:

  • Purposeful communication: Nurses need to effectively communicate patient information to all members of the health care team. By doing so the patient will receive high quality care that is relevant, timely and error free. Nurses also develop communication skills to coordinate care for patient discharge needs to community agencies.

  • Critical thinking and clinical judgement: Nurses develop critical thinking skills to monitor the health care status of their patients on an ongoing basis. This skill is also necessary to develop clinical judgement which is necessary to prioritize patient care. These are two of the most important skills that nurses need to effectively function in an often fast paced health care environment.

  • Active listening: Nurses develop sharp listening skills to gain information from patients and their families to formulate a proper plan of care. Nurses also use their listening skills when communicating with all members of the health care team. 

Nurses develop effective social skills in order to communicate with patients, families and their peers. Strong social skills are also necessary for congruency in our communication Nurses develop problem solving skills to provide high quality patient care that is appropriate and responsive to patient's conditions. 

The undergraduate curriculum provides an innovative, integrated, and conceptual model for teaching and learning wherein critical thinking and decision- making are emphasized.

The curriculum is grounded in the sciences and is focused on addressing nursing and health care across the life span. The degree plan consists of approximately two (2) years of lower-division course work followed by two or more years of upper-division Nursing courses taken at the College of Nursing. The entire program is possible to complete in eight (8) full-term semesters. The curriculum culminates in preceptored courses that include learning and practice with experienced professional nurses in acute care facilities and in community health care settings.

Student Employment

The UTEP College of Nursing Undergraduate program is very rigorous and time-consuming. Students are strongly encouraged to carefully evaluate their personal and employment commitments to maximize their potential for success.

The College of Nursing assumes no responsibility for students' activities outside of the nursing curriculum. Students are personally responsible and liable for any activities conducted while employed. Student liability insurance provided by the University only covers students engaged in approved nursing curricular activities.  Individuals who illegally practice nursing may jeopardize their future as licensed professionals.

Students employed in a healthcare agency have the responsibility, personally and professionally, to engage in only those activities that fall within the job description.  Further, students have a responsibility to refuse to participate in activities that he or she has not been legally licensed to perform.

Additional Expenses

  • Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) including study guide.

  • Required dress and equipment for clinical practicums (See CON Undergraduate Handbook).

  • Ongoing assessment and testing in preparation for NCLEX-RN licensure examination.

  • Health and clinical clearances, including a drug screen and health insurance.

  • Background checks.

  • Application fee for licensure exam (NCLEX) and Pearson Vue. 

This list is not all-inclusive and is subject to change.

Nursing Student Organization

All enrolled students are eligible for membership in the Nursing Student Organization, an affiliate of the Texas Nursing Students' Association and the National Student Nurses’ Association. The UTEP Chapter has goals consistent with those of the National Student Nurses' Association. Its purpose is to aid in the development of the individual student, the profession of Nursing and the delivery of health care.

Academic Progress

Rigorous study is required to succeed in the Nursing Program. Multiple hours of preparation are required beyond the classroom periods and clinical experiences. Students must be willing to accept this as a condition of succeeding in the program.

A Nursing student must meet or exceed the following minimum requirements for each course in the Nursing curriculum in order to pass that course:

1. Didactic courses without a clinical lab

a. Students must maintain a minimum average of 75% on didactic course work. This constitutes the didactic evaluation of a course. Achieving less than a minimum average of 75.0% in the didactic portion of the course results in course failure. There is no rounding of grades and fractional points will be dropped. Extra credit is not permitted.

2. Didactic course with a clinical lab - In addition to meeting the conditions stated in the section above (didactic courses without a clinical lab), the following apply to courses with a clinical or lab component:

a. Clinical or lab related assignments must meet the minimum average of 75.0%. Grades or points given for clinical or lab related assignments are factored into the overall course grade only if the student has passed course's exams and/or quizzes with the minimum of 75.0%.

b. Students must pass both the didactic and the clinical or lab component of a course. Failure of either component results in failure of the entire course, i.e. failing to meet the clinical or lab requirements results in a failing grade for the entire course regardless of meeting the minimum average of 75.0% for exams and/or quizzes. Likewise, failing the didactic portion of the course results in failure of the entire course regardless of success in the clinical portion.

3. The grading scale is:

100 - 90 = A

89 - 80 = B

79 - 75 = C

74 - 60 = D

< 60 = F

4. Successfully pass the standardized exams associated with courses at or above the level designated by the College of Nursing (Please refer to “Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) Policy and Procedures” in current SON undergraduate student handbook).

Course Repeat Policy

Repeating a nursing course because of failure or withdrawal is not automatic. The student must request permission from the Director of Advising of the Office of Student Affairs and the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education to repeat a course. (Please refer to current CON undergraduate student handbook).

Progression

Students must successfully complete all prerequisite courses to progress through the curriculum sequence. Repeating a course disrupts the normal timeline of progression. Successful completion of a failed course does not guarantee automatic progression into succeeding courses. Students who vary from the normal timeline are placed in subsequent courses on a space-available basis each semester which include clinical. Successful passing of selected standardized exams at or above a level designated by the College of Nursing is also linked with progression. (Please refer to “Progression policy” in the current CON undergraduate student handbook).

Nursing Course Withdrawal and Repeat Policy

Nursing courses may only be attempted twice. A withdrawal from a nursing course that results in a "W" counts as an attempt. Students are not encouraged to withdraw from nursing courses as this impedes progression in the completion of the degree plan, but if a student chooses to withdraw from a course, this should be in writing (refer to the “Progression Policy” in the current Traditional BSN Undergraduate Student Handbook).

Dismissal from the Nursing Program

A student is academically dismissed from the nursing program after failing two nursing courses (Sophomore level or professional courses) or after two unsuccessful attempts of the same nursing course.  There is no appeal process for dismissals. A formal letter of academic dismissal will be sent to the student by the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education (refer to the Progression Policy in the Traditional BSN UG Handbook).

Safe and Effective Nursing Practice Policy

All nursing students must perform within the limits of safe practice. A faculty member can remove a student from a clinical site if the student's nursing practice is deemed unsafe as defined in the Safe Practice Policy of the College of Nursing, of which a copy is posted on the College of Nursing website.

Licensure as a Professional Nurse

Graduates seeking licensure must successfully complete the National Council of State Boards of Nursing-Registered Nurse Examination (NCLEX-RN) and the Texas Nursing Jurisprudence Exam which are administered by the Texas Board of Nursing. Graduates must complete the licensure application, which includes criminal background check information. The Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education will verify the eligibility status of applicants.

All students registered into NURS 2303 are required to submit a Criminal Background Check (CBC) Form to the College of Nursing Office of Student Affairs to submit to the Texas Board of Nursing. The Texas Board of Nursing will process the students’ information and eligible students will receive an email from Identogo© to schedule their fingerprinting appointment.

After fingerprinting, the Texas Board of Nursing will issue an initial outcome to the student (blue card or outcome letter). Students with incidents in their background check will be instructed by the Texas Board of Nursing to write a letter of explanation and submit necessary documentation. The initial review may take up to 30 days. Students may be asked to submit a declaratory order and a $150 fee for cases requiring in-depth investigation by the Enforcement Department. This process may take a minimum of 90 days to send an outcome.
