Admission process/ nln,Hesi and TEAS

[Sergeena]

Hi all,

I'm just really confuse about the admission processes to the nursing programs here. Colleges like Lehman, NCC, QCC, York, Bmcc, etc, require you to be admitted under a general major prior to being accepted to their nursing program. If that is so, then how do so many people on this forum state that they are accepted/ applied to multiple programs when they are not matriculated students at these colleges?

Another thing that racks my head is that some of the colleges require that the student take their pre-nursing exam at their facility and the test scores wouldn't be acceptable from another school.

1.So do I just take different Hesi's or nln at the school's I want to apply to?

2.Also many schools have different pre-nursing exams. One could have the Hesi, Teas or nln...Does that mean I have to study for all 3 if I want to apply to programs that require 3 different kinds?

It depends on the program and whether credits transfer. If you take the prerequisites at one school you have to make sure they transfer to another. I am at a cc college right now and all of my credits will transfer to other schools if I chose. Many for profit schools classes will not transfer. It is true that many schools have different entrance exams. As long as you take it at an approved testing site it shouldn't be a problem where you take it. But I would talk to advisors at the programs you are looking at and see what they say.

You have to be formally accepted at all of the schools I am applying to. You just complete the applications/submit fees (where applicable) and wait for acceptance....no big deal

as for the entrance exams yes if you apply to 3 different schools with 3 different exams you have to take all 3.....if your school won't accept scores from other schools i suppose you have to take the same exam more than once. Luckily of the 3 schools I am applying to 2 different exams are required....the two schools that require the same exam will accept scores from other schoolsw
