House Bill 3078 amends the Education Code to create the Uniform Pre-Nursing Curriculum Advisory Committee to develop and make recommendations to the legislature regarding the creation of a uniform pre-nursing curriculum for undergraduate professional nursing programs offered by institutions of higher education. The recommendations must specify the prerequisite courses a student must complete to qualify for consideration for admission to an undergraduate professional nursing program and the content for such courses. The bill requires the advisory committee to assess the prerequisite courses required for each undergraduate professional nursing program in Texas and the ability of a student to use course credit earned at one institution of higher education for admission to an undergraduate professional nursing program at another institution of higher education.
