Here are the pre-reqs for our ADN RN program:

English 191

Math 191

A&P 1 & 2

Microbiology

Psy 191

SCT 100 (computer class)

CPR for health care providers

all the above must have received a C or better

then must take the NLN and score 75% or higher

the NLN score and the GPA are point scaled. For example, 100 on the NLN= 50 pts, and a 4.0 GPA = 25 pts.

Out of 350 applicants, the top 75 were interviewed. The interview was worth 25 pts.

The top 40 (approx) applicants were accepted into the RN program. The others will be able to reapply in April of 2009.

Once accepted into the ADN RN program, we had 2 months to get vaccinations, titers, drug screen, physical, and background check completed and results turned in (by today @ 5 pm) or we would be taken out of the program.

Hallejuah

I am ready for class to start in OCT!!!!!!!

After acceptance into the program, we then have to get Eng 193, Soc 191, Speech 191, and Humanities 191.....I will also be picking up Chem 1 & 2 and Eco 191 as I will be applying to the BSN/MSN dual degree program after graduation from the ADN program.
