Could someone simplify what this statement means?

Only applications to the first year of the Nursing program will be considered, and consideration is limited to applicants without prior post-secondary studies in Nursing. Advanced standing for students with prior Nursing studies cannot be considered.

Especially where it says limited to applicants without prior post secondary studies

Only new students may apply for the first-year nursing program.

It means that if you want to apply to this nursing program you can't have any other nursing experience, because this is for first-years only.

The statement is saying that for this particular Nursing program, they will only review applications from students who are applying to start in the first year of the program. Additionally, they will only consider applicants who do not have any previous educational experience or studies in Nursing. This means that if someone has already studied Nursing before, they will not be eligible for consideration.

To simplify the statement:

- They will only look at applications from students applying to start in the first year of the Nursing program.
- Only those who have not studied Nursing before will be considered.
