care and community-based settings.
Students applying for entrance to the Registered Nursing program must meet the standards and requirements for admission to ASUMH prior to
completing the required program application.
All prerequisite general education courses must be completed with a grade of “C” or better. All general education prerequisites must be

The Arkansas State Board of Nursing (ASBN) requires a criminal background check for all graduates applying for licensure. Graduating from a
nursing program does not assure ASBN’s approval to take the licensure examination. Eligibility to take the licensure examination is dependent
on meeting standards in the ASBN Nurse Practice Act and Rules. Students will be required to sign a statement, before beginning the nursing
program, that states they have read and understood ACA §17-87-312 and the specific offenses which, if pleaded guilty, nolo contendere, or
found guilty of will make an individual ineligible to receive or hold a license in Arkansas.
