FACULTY

MISSION

It is the mission of the nursing program at Campbellsville University to motivate students to think critically through knowledge and experience. Our nursing students and graduates will uphold the dignity of all persons and respect diversity, empower others through Christian servant leadership, and promote health through innovative holistic care.

ADMISSION

A prospective student must be admitted to the University first and then apply to the School of Nursing. Admission to the University does not guarantee admission to the Associate Degree Nursing Program. The student must also have an ACT score (not older than 5 years) or an NLN exam score. Applicants are considered on the basis of cumulative GPA in the five prerequisite courses and ACT or NLN scores which will be combined into a point system. The student is also required to be licensed in the State of Kentucky as a Nurse Aid (SRNA) (CNA) prior to admission.
