Selection Statistics

The scores listed above are averages for those students selected in the initial selection of Practical Nursing candidates. All qualified applicants are ranked via a 100 point ranking system based on their composite TEAS score (95%) and their county residency (5%). Residency is determined based on the mailing address listed on the driver’s license submitted with the application only. Applicants not selected maintain their score and ranking. If a seat becomes available, applicants are contacted in the order that they are ranked. Scores listed are averages and are not associated with an individual applicant. Some applicants selected may have scores above or below the average listed.
