How many points do I need to be admitted to the Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program?

The majority of ranking points are earned from scores on the TEAS test. To qualify for admission, the ADN program requires an overall Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 on all prerequisite courses.

A glossary defining terms related to Course Sections is accessible on the Catalog Course Description page.  Additional ranking points may be earned for the following:

• Number of non-RNSG courses on the ADN degree plan that have been completed with a C or better

• TSI complete

• Military service

• Current healthcare certification (Medical Assistant, Nurse Aide, Emergency Medical Technician, Paramedic, Respiratory Therapist, Medication Aide, Patient Care Technician or Scrub Technologist)

• Courses toward the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree completed with C or better HIST 1301/2301, MATH 1314/1342, ENGL 1302/2311, CHEM 1411, GOVT 2305/2306.

Once all points have been determined, students will be ranked from highest to lowest.

Can I still work while attending the program?

It is not recommended that students work while attending the ADN Program. The schedule often requires students to attend class and/or clinical rotations throughout the week. Clinical rotations may also be scheduled on weekends, nights, and/or weekends.

 

Is the program offered online?

No. The Navarro College ADN program is a pre-licensure Registered Nursing (RN) program, therefore students are required to have face-to-face learning activities throughout the week.  While some courses are delivered in a hybrid/online format, the majority are delivered face-to-face.
