Your résumé or CV should be a summary of your qualifications and transferable skills related to the program. You are encouraged to highlight your professional accomplishments and relevant experiences, including volunteer experiences. In addition, you can submit a cover letter with your resume to provide context to your relevant experiences and share their connection to the program.

An official transcript from the university where you earned/are earning your bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree is required at the time of application.

Three letters of recommendation are required at the time of application. Include all recommenders' contact information.

In 500 words or less: Please write a brief narrative describing yourself, your career goals, your understanding of the nursing role you will assume after graduation, and the importance of graduate study at this point in your life. You may discuss influences on your intellectual development, educational and cultural opportunities (or lack of them) which have been available to you, and the ways in which these experiences have affected you. This should not be a recording of facts already listed on the application; it should give the Admissions Committee a better sense of who you are and why you are applying to graduate school at the University of San Diego. If you are now in a graduate program at another university, please explain why you wish to leave.
