ADVISING NOTES PARTICULARLY PERTINENT FOR JMU NURSING MAJORS:

We strongly encourage you to contact the JMU nursing department early in your academic career at BRCC. That way you can work with JMU faculty to ensure your smooth transition to the program. Nursing programs are competitive, so make sure you research admission requirements to the program. Acceptance to JMU does not guarantee acceptance to the nursing program. Dr. Merle E. Mast is the contact person for the James Madison University Department of Nursing. She can be reached by calling (540) 568-6314 or by e-mail at mastme@jmu.edu.
