ADN/LPN Point System

Admission into the ADN or LPN program is a competitive selection process for a limited number of seats. Fully qualified students will be ranked based on a point system. Points will be awarded for the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) and other criteria. Using a formula that assigns numerical values to specific criteria, all applicants will be ranked. Acceptance into the ADN or PN programs will be based on the highest cumulative scores.
