Pre-Nursing at Greenville University
Greenville University’s pre-nursing is a part of a partnership with Goldfarb School of Nursing with students completing preliminary coursework at GU. With a strong foundation in the sciences, Greenville University students receive two years of preparatory coursework at Greenville University and then transfer to Goldfarb School of Nursing for two additional years to complete their BSN. Students may continue to live on GU's campus in years 3 and 4. Students will travel to Goldfarb several times a week for classes and clinicals; some Goldfarb courses may meet on GU’s campus.
GU chose to partner with Goldfarb School of Nursing because Goldfarb shares a desire with GU to provide students with an exceptional student experience. Goldfarb has a strong reputation within the nursing community. This can translate to better job prospects and opportunities post-graduation. Goldfarb School of nursing will provide ample opportunities for clinical experience, allowing students to gain hands-on training in various healthcare settings. This practical experience is invaluable for building confidence and competence as a nurse.
Goldfarb's pass rate for the National Council Licensure Examination exceeds both state and national averages are above 90%
Your degree will be from Goldfarb School of Nursing. By NCAA regulations, students who wish to participate in athletics will pursue a path to receive a degree from GU in Medical Biology as well as a BSN from Goldfarb. Students who do not want to participate in athletics can pursue both a GU degree and a Goldfarb degree or simply a nursing degree from Goldfarb.
Clinical experiences occur at either Barnes Jewish Hospital in STL or Children's Hospital in STL. Students will be put in clinical groups together to allow for carpooling to save on costs.
This program prepares you for the opportunities and challenges you will encounter in this rewarding profession. As with any nursing program, you must first pass the National Council Licensure Examination in order to practice nursing.
