Pre-Nursing
The pre-health program offers students foundational coursework required or recommended by many nursing schools. La Sierra's curriculum was specifically developed to meet the academic requirements of different nursing programs.
After completion of the pre-health program students are prepared to seek enrollment into a BSN program at a nursing school of their choice. Nurses help patients cope with illness and provide the care needed for each patient. A BSN degree prepares students for professional nursing in acute and community settings. Nurses may also serve as advocates for patients, families and communities. Nurses may find employment in private and public health agencies, doctor’s offices, hospitals, rehabilitative centers, clinics, schools, industry, and nursing homes.
