Nursing and Allied Health
HCC’s Test Center administers admissions testing for the Nursing and Allied Health programs. Interested candidates are encouraged to meet with their Admissions Coach to determine which exam is needed for the desired program and establish the required testing deadlines to meet application requirements.
- For the traditional, accelerated, or the LPN Nursing Programs, students will need to take the ATI TEAS.
- For students interested in applying to the LPN Pathways Program, the test needed for admissions is the LPN to RN Mobility exam.
- Both the ATI TEAS and LPN to RN Mobility Exams are administered year-round. If students would like specific information regarding when they should complete their admissions tests, they are encouraged to speak with their Admissions Coach.
