    The SCC Nursing Faculty will be implementing interviews into the competitive application process. Those persons applying in the Spring 2022 application period and entry into the nursing program in Fall of 2022, will be required to participate in the interview process.

    Due to the competitive nursing application process, the SCC Nursing Program is reinstating TEAS testing requirements starting with the Fall 2021 application group. The TEAS test will need to be completed within one year of application. Registration for TEAS testing is done through the ATI website. Due to continued COVID 19 restrictions, some testing centers may be unable to schedule TEAS testing. Therefore, you may complete TEAS testing online while being proctored by ATI. ATI Link: https://atitesting.com/teas/register
    If you have already completed the TEAS test through a third party or are able to complete it at a testing center, this is also acceptable.
