Individuals seeking admission to Northland Pioneer College's Associate Degree Nursing Program must successfully complete the Health Education Systems, Inc. (HESI) Admission Assessment. Testing dates have been announced for this spring for admission to the fall 2012 class.
The HESI Admission Assessment tests math; reading; vocabulary; grammar; biology; chemistry; and anatomy and physiology. All of these subjects are covered in nursing pre-requisite courses. A study guide is also available through the Online NPC bookstore, under the spring course NUR 100, www.hesitest.com or www.amazon.com.
Cost for the test is $38. Payment can be made at any NPC campus or center office. A copy of the receipt must be submitted when registering for the test. Deadline is 48 hours prior to the exam date, if space permits.
Seats are limited, so early registration is encouraged. To sign up, contact NPC Nursing Department Secretary Cathy Reed, (928) 532-6136 or (800) 266-7845, ext. 6136. Her office is located in the Ponderosa Center on the Show Low – White Mountain Campus.
