How many points do I need to be admitted to the ADN program?

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

-
Military service
-
Current healthcare certification (Medical Assistant, Nurse Aide, EMT, Paramedic, RT, Med Aide, or Scrub Tech)

Once all points have been determined, students will be ranked from highest to lowest.
Is there an expiration date on my science courses?
For 2022, admission, BIOL 2401 and BIOL 2402 must be completed within 7 years prior to application deadline. Students who have completed BIOL 2401 &/or 2402 more than 7 years ago with a C or better, have the option of taking BIOL 2404 (must score C or better) in place of BIOL 2401 &/or BIOL 2402.
