- Nursing Program Entrance Exam Requirements: ADN and PN applicants must submit passing scores from either the TEAS test or the HESI to demonstrate evidence of academic readiness for the nursing programs. Minimum score requirements are as follows:
- Assessment Technologies Institute Test of Essential Academic Skills Test (ATI TEAS): Both ADN and PN applicants must score a minimum composite (overall) score of 58.7%. BCCC offers onsite testing for the ATI TEAS. (See ATI TEAS Information here). Students have 2 attempts per calendar year to meet the required composite score. Once the minimum proficiency composite score is met, the scores are valid for 3 (three) consecutive years. LPN to RN transition students must also have a minimum ATI TEAS score of 58.7. However, LPN to RN transition applicant scores are valid for 10 consecutive years.
