(B) The nursing program does not lead to initial licensure, but offers a formal course of instruction leading to a bachelor of science degree in nursing or a master of science degree in nursing and the nursing program annually submits to the Missouri State Board of Nursing an application for approval as a participating school, which provides evidence of-
1. The existence of a separate and distinct nursing department within the degree-granting institution; and

2. A curriculum plan incorporating both nursing theory and clinical nursing experience as integral components of the course of instruction.

(2) Student Eligibility.

3. Whether the applicant has been denied a nursing license by any state board of nursing;

4. Whether there are any current or past complaints filed against the nursing license of the applicant;

5. Whether the applicant has been placed on the Department of Social Service's Employee Disqualification List; or
