The Department of Nursing functions within the general framework and philosophy of Weber State College. The faculty believes that the purpose of the nursing program is to meet community and student needs. A program of experiences is designed to prepare the student as a citizen and a beginning practitioner of nursing. These practitioners have knowledge of the basic- physical biological, behavioral and medical sciences; plus the ability and skill to apply this knowledge in caring for patients with common recurring problems in nursing situations where there is supervision of the experienced professional nurse. The Nursing Program is offered on three campuses—the Weber State College program, a cooperative associate degree program at Utah State University, Logan, and a cooperative associate degree program at Utah Technical College/SLC. Out-of-state students may apply to the Weber State College campus for admission. No out-of-state students will be admitted to the programs at Utah State University and Utah Technical College/ SLC. Application for all programs is made through the Admissions Office, Weber State College. Students will receive notification regarding admission as soon as admission procedures have been completed. All students are required to take ACT examinations, and to have the results on file at Weber State College before applicant's credentials can be reviewed. Deadline for applications is February 24. The class will be selected by April 1. All students must receive written acceptance through the Admissions and Standards Committee of the Department of Nursing in order to enroll in the summer quarter. The nursing program at Weber State College campus offers a career ladder curriculum.
