This is required to be eligible to take the PSB-PN the nursing entrance exam for selective admission. When this criteria has been met the nursing department will send a packet that will include information about the PSB-PN and the testing dates. Applicants who have not achieved minimum scores of 41 on the assessment test are encouraged to enroll in basic skills classes in the areas indicated by the test scores. It takes approximately two weeks to receive PSB-PN results after the test has been taken. If the test is taken twice within an application cycle, the test with the highest raw score where all components were at or above the 25th percentile will be utilized for admission consideration.
Scores are valid for one year from the date of testing.
Complete the above steps with appropriate documentation on file in the nursing office. Applicants meeting the above requirements will be placed in rank order of PSB-PN raw scores and the respective class will be selected by rank order within the context of the class size. If the class is filled and applicants meeting the above requirements are not selected, a waiting list will be established. Applicants who have scored at or above the 25th percentile in all components and have a raw score sum of 250 or above will be ranked in order of PSB-PN raw scores. These applicants will be selected by rank order within the context of the class size.
