Once all admissions criteria has been completed:
It is recommended to attend a meeting when you first become interested in nursing. For high school students, we urge students to attend the summer before their Senior year. Attending a meeting at an early stage will allow you to fully understand the admission criteria and prepare accordingly. Advisement may be offered after the information meeting on an individualized basis (official sealed transcripts from all college’s attended or applicable placement testing is required to be eligible for an individualized meeting). We will help you plan out your courses to meet criteria and inform you when you will be eligible to apply.
The nursing information meetings are normally held once or twice a month during the Fall and Spring semesters and once a month during Summer semesters.
Enrollment in the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program is limited to clinical site capacity. The Nursing Program admits 40 students in the Fall and 50 students in the Spring semester, which includes 10 spots in the evening section.
The TEAS test covers Reading, Math, Science, and English and it is recommended that you have college courses in these areas before attempting the TEAS test. The test consists of 170 questions with the breakdown as follows:
Applications are accepted Sept. 1-30 to start in the Spring semester and Feb. 1-28 to start in the Fall semester.
