Texas Southmost College requires all students interested in applying to the Nursing programs complete an admission assessment.
All students applying for the Associate Degree Nursing or Vocational Nursing Program must take and meet the minimum requirements of the ATI TEAS 7 entrance exam. If applying for the ADN program, students should not take the entrance exam packet until the prerequisites are complete and you are ready to apply to the program. Vocational Nursing Applicants may schedule their entrance exam at any time.
To register for the ATI TEAS exam, students must submit registration on marketplace. Seating is limited on scheduled ATI TEAS exam days. The cost for the ATI TEAS is $75. The Admission Assessment Exam may be taken twice during the calendar year; however, there is a 30-day waiting period between exams.
Results from the Admission Assessment Exams can be obtained in your student ATI account.
Examinees must report to the computer lab assigned on their scheduled test date. There are no refunds for a missed appointment.
The examinee should have an ID which is government-issued with a current photograph and examinee’s signature and permanent address.
The most recent TEAS scores will be recorded in the entrance grid. If a student repeats the TEAS exam, the entire TEAS admission exam must be repeated.
