Hey! I'm looking into applying soon for the spring 2020 semester and was just curious how the program is? Also if they mostly just take the PAX RN score into consideration and not GPA. What was everyones scores when they applied and how did you study for the PAX?

Me too! I see other schools with hundreds of posts... hopefully people will be able to use our experience to help them out. Not everyone has friends already in the program that can tell them the in's and out's.

agreed! I just recently moved here recently so I know absolutely nobody and saw almost nothing about this program that's why I made this post.

Well you plan on applying for fall if you don’t get in this spring, right? (although with your score I think you’re at the top of the list) you might as well get what you need now just to be ready. That’s just my opinion though.

Call Monday and ask what the best option is for you to be prepared if you are selected.

Hey guys! I know this is an older post, but I’m currently trying to enroll for the RN program at HCC. I cannot get a straight answer from the nursing department to save my life, so I’m trying to reach out here. Does anyone know if I take a CNA course (through a local nursing home in TN) and take the state registry exam, will I still have to take the NAA100 course? From what I’ve read on their admission packet, as long as I’m on a state registry I’m okay...but when I called to confirm they said (and I quote) “Well, you’ll have to take this class to take the exam.” Pleaseee if anyone knows, I’d really appreciate it!!

I’m not really sure. I took mine at a cna school that wasn’t a college and then got on the registry. I believe you just have to provide them with proof that you’re on the registry though. I’d call again and speak with someone different. There two ladies you can speak to, I’m not sure who you spoke with but try calling the other number. And you’re fine I actually didn’t get in last semester because I was waitlisted so I’m going through the whole process again for the fall semester! Is that what you’re applying for?

As long as you’re on any state registry it will satisfy for the NAA100 course and you don’t have to take it on campus or before submitting your packet. Just as long as you take and pass the exam you’re good to go. Good luck!
