| Students wishing to transfer into the Miles Community
College Nursing Program from other schools of nursing should
contact the Nursing Program Director. A letter from students
requesting admission to the College’s Nursing Program is
required and should be addressed to the Nursing Admissions
Committee. The letter should outline the reasons for leaving the
previous nursing program and the reasons the student thinks they
will be more successful in the Miles Community College Nursing
Program. A letter of recommendation from the student’s previous
nursing school director or dean is required. Transfer of nursing
credits is on a case-by-case basis through course evaluation.
Transfer students must complete all nursing program admission
requirements prior to enrollment. Nursing courses must have been
taken within the past year from a nursing program that is
accredited by a nationally recognized nursing accrediting body.
Students requesting transfer into freshman-level nursing classes
are required to take and pass the ATI TEAS exam (minimum
120/170) and Critical Thinking Entrance exam (minimum score
28/40). In the event that more students apply for admission than
spaces available at any given site, the rank order of the
combined ATI exam scores will be used to determine admission.
Students requesting transfer into sophomore-level nursing
classes are required to take and successfully pass the ATI
Fundamentals of Nursing exam (minimum score 42/60) and the
Critical Thinking Entrance exam (minimum score 28/40). In the
event that more students apply for admission than spaces
available at any given site, the rank order of the combined
qualifying ATI exam scores will be used to determine admission.
Transfer students may also be required to demonstrate skills and
the Nursing Process through care plan writing. A score of 75% or
better must be achieved on each of these components in order to
qualify for transfer admission. |
