MEPN Students: Evaluations - Satisfactory Progress

MEPN students must meet the School of Nursing's Essential Qualifications of Candidates for Undergraduate and Pre-Licensure MEPN Admission, Continuance, and Graduation in order to progress satisfactorily. These essentials include academic performance, communication skills, behavioral/emotional health, and professional conduct. Please review the Essential Qualifications of Candidates for Undergraduate and Pre-Licensure MEPN Admission, Continuance, and Graduation .

The MEPN subcommittee, under supervision of the BSN Coordinating Committee, monitors satisfactory progress of all MEPN students. Satisfactory Progress during the pre-RN portion of the program is defined as a 2.0 in all graded classes or "Credit" in non-graded classes AND meeting the criteria of the essential qualifications. If the committee is concerned that a student is not making satisfactory progress in academic areas of the program or is not meeting the essential qualifications, the committee reviews the situation and may set up appropriate support systems and conditions for the student for the remainder of the program. (see The Warning Card: Notification to Student of Unsatisfactory Progress). This support may include regular tutoring, counseling, advising appointments, repeating courses and/or a reduced program schedule. In some instances a leave of absence and/or dismissal from the program is required. Students are encouraged to seek support through Academic Services, as well as assistance and support from the student counselor free of charge.

Students must receive a 2.0 and/or "credit" in all nursing core courses and meet the essential qualifications in order to complete the pre-licensure portion of the program. Active, unrestricted licensure as an RN in Washington State is required for continuation to the MN portion of the program.
