  • The School of Nursing has instituted a testing program to assist undergraduate students. The purpose of this program is to provide students with curriculum-wide assessment and remediation activities. Students have the opportunity to become more successful in their educational career; and with the assistance of the program, students will continually identify, review and refine their knowledge. Throughout the nursing program, pre-identified assessments will be required along with the suggested remediation. During the senior semesters, students will be required to attend a three-day pre-NCLEX seminar. The purpose of these seminars is to assist the student in the process of NCLEX preparation. Additionally, immediately upon graduation students will be required to attend the three-day live review offered by ATI. There is a testing fee associated with certain nursing courses to cover the costs of the entire testing program and resources.
