Exam/CNA Information

TEAS: Effective for the Summer 2020 application cycle and beyond, the TTUHSC School of Nursing Traditional BSN program no longer requires completion of the TEAS. If another school of nursing you are interested in requires the TEAS, featured products and preparation guides can be found at the Assessment Technology Institute (ATI) web store.

HESI: Some schools of nursing require/accept the HESI. More information can be found here.

 

Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA): Effective Fall 2021 and beyond, the TTUHSC School of Nursing Traditional BSN program requires students to be certified as a CNA prior to the first day of class. Preference will be given to applicants certified at the time of the application deadline, along with proof of work experience as a CNA. Please note, faculty members will provide case by case reviews for applicants with other direct patient care/healthcare experiences.
