We appreciate your interest in applying to change your major to nursing. Consistent with best practices in nursing schools across the country, there is a predetermined number of nursing spots in each clinical course to ensure patient safety and to enable our faculty to deliver the highest quality nursing education.
The program director or senior academic advisor reviews the transcripts of all Pace students who apply to change their major to nursing. The decision is then made to accept the strongest students to fill the limited number of spots available.
The selection process is highly competitive and we admit a very limited number of change of major students to the nursing major. The reason for the limited number of spots available to change of major students is two-fold: The first is that we have many freshmen nursing students who will be advancing to the sophomore-level clinical nursing courses, and the second is that there is a large number of Pace students asking to change their major to nursing.

The clinical computation exam is a dosage and calculation math test that is a prerequisite for the clinical courses. Students can prepare for this exam by reading the first two chapters of the most current edition of the book Clinical nursing calculations by Sienkiewicz & Palmunen. The clinical calculations test will be taken after the student has been accepted into the nursing program. The passing score for the clinical computation exam at level II—sophomore standing and entry level to the ABS program is 90% or better. The passing grade for the exam at level III and IV—junior- and senior-level and second and third semester clinically-prepared ABS students is a 95% or better.
