WOU’s Pre-Nursing program allows students to complete the prerequisite coursework for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or Registered Nursing (RN) program. While WOU’s Pre-Nursing program is primarily designed for Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), the program can be adjusted for other nursing schools in Oregon or out of state.<\/span><\/p>\n Nursing programs (BSN and RN) in Oregon are incredibly competitive and spaces are limited. Completing WOU\u2019s Pre-Nursing program DOES NOT guarantee acceptance into OHSU or any other nursing program. Additionally, the <\/span>Pre-Nursing program DOES NOT culminate in a degree from WOU and is NOT a major at WOU.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/cdn.wou.edu\/advising\/files\/2025\/09\/Pre-Nursing-Timeline-1.pdf” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Pre-Nursing Timeline” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”22px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#db0a29″ button_border_radius=”5px” button_font=”|600|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/cdn.wou.edu\/advising\/files\/2025\/09\/Pre-Nursing-FAQs.pdf” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”FAQs” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”22px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#db0a29″ button_border_radius=”5px” button_font=”|600|||||||” custom_padding=”|109px||109px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ module_class=”et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”21px||||false|false” custom_padding=”|95px|0px|95px|false|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”15px|15px|15px|15px|true|true” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Courses” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”|600|||||||” title_text_align=”center” title_text_color=”#db0a29″ title_font_size=”35px” custom_margin=”7px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-32px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n WOU\u2019s Pre-Nursing program consists of two years of coursework (roughly 90 credits) with students applying in their second year (timelines can vary).
