About This Program

Important Links:

The traditional Registered Nursing Program at ASUMH is designed to prepare the student to become a Registered Nurse. The Associate of Applied Science in Registered Nursing degree combines classroom with clinical experience.

Classes will meet Monday through Thursday. An average of seven to eight hours of class are required per day. The course of study meets the requirements of the Arkansas State Board of Nursing and has received initial approval by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing to begin recruiting and accepting applications.

The student must maintain a 2.5 GPA or higher in order to graduate and be eligible to apply for the National Council of Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). There is no advanced placement in this program. Students must complete all required nursing courses with a grade of “C” or higher.

Applicants must meet the standards and requirements for admission to ASUMH prior to applying to the Registered Nursing program. This includes a formal application for admission to ASUMH, including the submission of all required admission credentials. (See Admission Requirements in ASUMH Catalog and Student Handbook.) ALL information must be submitted prior to  March 15 for Summer I admission. Application to the program does not guarantee acceptance into the program.

Covid-19 Vaccinations

ASUMH does not mandate that students who are enrolled in Health Science programs receive a COVID-19 vaccine series (and any recommended boosters), but they are strongly encouraged to do so. However, the clinical facilities that partner with ASUMH establish their own worksite policies, and they may require that faculty members and students be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 in order to work in the facility or be assigned to specific areas. Therefore, students electing not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine series or boosters may not be able to complete program requirements, which will result in non-progression through the program.  Clinical facilities may also request information regarding COVID vaccination status for any student and faculty assigned to the site. Students who have received the COVID-19 vaccine should submit a copy for their file.
