Vocational Nursing (LVN)

Admissions Steps

Acceptance to NCTC is separate than acceptance to the LVN program. Please see step 4.

Once all admission requirements are met including the submission of your graduation report/advising worksheet, you will be notified by the Admissions Office of your acceptance to NCTC. You will meet with your success coach/advisor and begin registering for general academic (non-nursing) courses if needed.

VNSG 1420 may be taken before admission to the program, but no later than the first semester after admission. BIOL 2401 and BIOL 2402 (Anatomy and Physiology I and II) may be substituted for VNSG 1420. Both semesters of Anatomy and Physiology must be taken for credit to be given.

Schedule, register, and pay for your TEAS test at the ATI/TEAS testing site then with the Testing Center on your campus. For more information go to nctc.edu/testing/ati or email corinthtesting@nctc.edu.

Prospective students are only allowed 3 TEAS attempts per calendar year and there is no waiting period between attempts. Scores must be a minimum of 58.7%. Must score a minimum of 50% in each subsection: Reading, Math, Science, and English and Language Usage. Only current scores from within the last two years from the date of application will be considered. However, this does not guarantee acceptance.

If you have a disability, contact the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) to obtain information about available testing accommodations and procedures.

NCTC’s LVN Program will only accept the TEAS test taken in-person, not remotely
