*NOTE: Students who enroll in and successfully complete CSCI 1100 will receive college credit. College credits are not awarded for the proficiency exam, but rather a Pass/Fail credit is awarded. Students may decide to satisfy this requirement by taking the Challenge Exam. More details on these exams are available on the internet:

*This schedule is subject to revision at any time. New "cohorts" of students form each fall at Johnson City, Sevierville, Kingsport, Knoxville, and Cleveland, TN. Note: This schedule reflects only the required upper-division nursing courses. Students needing General Education and required non-nursing classes may be required to enroll in additional terms. Please contact an Advisor in the Office of Academic Programs and Student Services in the College of Nursing for further admission information and to assist you in developing your plan of study.

**Note: Students may have their RN practicum hours reduced by portfolio submission. Portfolios are submitted and evaluated when students are enrolled in PMNU 4060. Students graduating from a Community College where ETSU has an Articulation Agreement will receive seven (7) semester hours credit upon successful completion of FCNU 2030 & PMNU 3120.

Note 1: Some collaborative work will be required which cannot be done online.
