GLEN OAKS COMMUNITY COLLEGE NURSING DEPARTMENT INFORMATION SHEET
THE NEXT LEVEL I NURSING CLASS STARTS IN SPRING OF 2015 AND THE NURSING APPLICATION IS DUE ON
DECEMBER 1, 2014, ALONG WITH THE TEAS TEST PAYMENT
The Glen Oaks Community College Laddered Associate of Science in Nursing Degree Program begins yearly. The laddered
program consists of Level I (practical nurse) and Level II (registered nurse). In addition to meeting the general
requirements of the College for admission, there are requirements pertinent to each level of the program. It is highly
recommended that you work with an advisor to plan your prerequisite courses prior to application to the program.
The curriculum has been designed to accommodate beginning nursing students at Level I. Graduates of Level I may
progress directly to Level II if requirements are met. It offers those students, as well as current Licensed Practical Nurses,
the opportunity to continue their education at Level II to meet the requirements for R.N. licensure. Glen Oaks
Community College admits to both levels concurrently. Qualified applicants may enter either of these levels as a means
for meeting their educational goal. Completion of each level requires three semesters, with the first semester being a
shortened 7 ½ week semester in Spring of each year.
IF YOU ARE TRANSFERRING IN FROM ANOTHER COLLEGE, PLEASE HAVE YOUR TRANSCRIPTS SENT OFFICIALLY-HIGH
SCHOOL TOO! YOU MAY BRING STUDENT COPIES TO YOUR INTERVIEW WITH THE DIRECTOR OF NURSING.
There are basic prerequisite courses, which must be completed with a grade of 2.5 (C+) for each class. You must also
complete the Accuplacer evaluation (given free at Glen Oaks) if you wish to transfer in courses 10 years or older, you
must take Accuplacer evaluation and test into college level English and Math.
These courses may be completed in high school (2 semesters-or 1 credit) or in college (1 semester). They are as follows:
Prerequisite courses: take algebra prior to taking chemistry!!!
 passing grade of 2.5 (C+) in high school algebra (2 semesters = equivalent 1 credit) or its equivalent; for example
NSM 100 Introductory Algebra at Glen Oaks Community College AND placement into NSM 104 Intermediate Algebra
or higher on Accuplacer evaluation
 passing grade of 2.5 (C+) in high school chemistry (2 semesters = equivalent 1 credit) taken within the last 5 years or
its equivalent; for example NSC 130 Chemistry at Glen Oaks Community College
 NSA 210 Principles of Anatomy & Physiology I,
 NSA 211 Anatomy and Physiology II
 SSP 210 Human Growth & Development
 COM 121 English Composition
 NSB 121 General Biology I
 ALH 218 Medical Terminology
Acceptance into Level I of the nursing program is based upon: #1- successful completion of the pre-requisites for the
program (listed above); #2-being ranked into the top 40 (there are a limited number of seats set by the Michigan Board
of Nursing (at this time: PN-40 seats)). Ranking is based on the TEAS test score (percentage) and the GPA of the
prerequisite courses for Level I. The pre-admission exam (TEAS-Test of Essential Academic Skills) for Level I is $50*. The
test is comprised of four sections: English, Reading, Mathematics and Science and takes about four hours to complete.
NOTE: To be considered for admission, students must achieve an Adjusted Individual Total Score of 40% or above on
the TEAS test.
The GOCC bookstore has a study manual for the TEAS test, or go to www.atitesting.com. #3-All health, including
medical clearance, background check, drug screening requirements, etc. must be met by due dates established. (see
Level I Checklist).
Entrance ranking score formula consists of the following:
TEAS test score (percentage) = 75% of score
Averaged GPA of Prerequisites = 25% of score
NOTE: Notify the Nursing Office if you have taken the TEAS test previously. You may use your score from a previous
TEAS test, but scores older than one year cannot be accepted.
Info Sheet (cont.) 2
THE NEXT LEVEL II NURSING CLASS STARTS IN SPRING 2015. DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION IS January 16, 2015.
Acceptance into Level II of the nursing program is based upon: #1-successful completion of the pre-requisites for the
Level II portion of the program (see Level II admission criteria) #2-being ranked into the top 30 (there are a limited
number of seats set by the Michigan Board of Nursing (at this time: RN-30 seats)). For Level II applicants, the ranking is
based on the graduating GPA, plus prerequisites (25%) from the practical nurse program and the score on the Level II
(NLN PN to RN ACE I) pre-admission exam. There is a requirement of 2 reference letters from your nursing clinical
instructor if you are a current GOCC student,* or 1 letter from your DON and 1 from your nurse supervisor at your place
of employment that will also be used to determine your entry into Level II. This exam costs $77* and the test date will is
March 20, 2015. NOTE: This test focuses on Nursing Care and a minimum decision score of 75 must be achieved. #3-All
health, including medical clearance, background check and drug screening requirements must be met by due dates
established. (see Level II checklist).
After acceptance into either level of the program, documentation of having met health guidelines must be submitted
and remain current for the duration of the program.
Applicants who have met the prerequisites in high school or who are taking the prerequisite courses at Glen Oaks may
utilize the time prior to admission to take non-nursing courses, which are part of the nursing curriculum. They are
identified on the course sequence sheets for each level of the program (in the Level I & II packets online). Taking
courses prior to admission will not assure acceptance to the Nursing Program. However, if accepted, taking courses in
advance will reduce the number of credit hours the student will take each semester once the program begins. A grade of
2.5 (C+) must be achieved in each prerequisite course. NOTE: You are cautioned to work with an advisor to keep from
over or under loading each semester as it relates to financial aid.
If your career goal involves eventually completing a BSN degree, you are advised to check the curriculum at the
college/university you plan to attend. While waiting for classes at Glen Oaks to begin, you may want to take some nonnursing freshman and sophomore classes required in the university’s curriculum that will eventually transfer to that
university.
Students in the nursing program must earn a grade of 2.5(C+) or higher in each required course in the nursing
curriculum, and maintain an overall GPA of 2.5 (C+). Students who receive final grades of less than 2.5 (C+) in a required
course will not be allowed to progress until they have made up their deficiencies. Nursing students must meet GOCC
requirements for graduation.

ADMISSION CRITERIA FOR LEVEL II
Admission Criteria for Level II is divided into 2 categories. Part A is for students who are currently Level l
students who have chosen to advance to the Level II program. Part B is for students returning to Level II who
have completed Level l some time previously OR students who did not attend GOCC for their PN. Level II is
limited to 30 students.
A.
CURRENT LEVEL I STUDENT (GOCC STUDENTS IN 2ND SEMESTER OF LEVEL I):
1. Submit a formal typed letter – signed by you, indicating a desire to advance to Level II after
successful completion of the second semester of Level l, to the Director of Nursing.
2. Submit a Nursing Application to the Nursing office after successful completion of the second
semester of Level l. Deadline the 3rd Friday in January.
3. Take the NLN ACE-1 PN to RN exam for Level II and achieve the required minimum score of 75.
4. Submit a transcript(s) from other institutions of higher education you may have attended since

typically be based upon input from instructors and/or the Director and shall be based upon clinical
competency, critical thinking, knowledge, attitude and ability to work with others. (The designation of
"recommended" is required to be eligible to be ranked). This reference, in addition to your ranking score
(GPA & test score formula**), will determine your entrance into the program. Faculty will review
recommendations for each student.
For these students we do not add the winter semester grades into the ranking, although the students
must still pass with a 2.5 or greater in their last semester courses. Since we are a year round program
we cannot wait until May for them to finish their coursework, as we would not be able to get ranking
done in time to start the Level II program immediately again in June.
6. Negative Drug and Alcohol screen will be required. Additionally, a Level II verification form
must be completed.
7. Applicants are ranked to determine selection Enrollment for Level II is limited to 30 seats. Applicants
are ranked for admission Entrance ranking score **formula consists of GPA from first two semesters =
25%, NLN ACE l test score = to or greater than 75%. When equally ranked applicants exceed available
seats, the following criteria in descending order will be used to determine admission:
a) In-district applicants

ADMISSION CRITERIA FOR LEVEL II
Admission Criteria for Level II is divided into 2 categories. Part A is for students who are currently Level l
students who have chosen to advance to the Level II program. Part B is for students returning to Level II who
have completed Level l some time previously OR students who did not attend GOCC for their PN. Level II is
limited to 30 students.
A.
CURRENT LEVEL I STUDENT (GOCC STUDENTS IN 2ND SEMESTER OF LEVEL I):
1. Submit a formal typed letter – signed by you, indicating a desire to advance to Level II after
successful completion of the second semester of Level l, to the Director of Nursing.
2. Submit a Nursing Application to the Nursing office after successful completion of the second
semester of Level l. Deadline the 3rd Friday in January.
3. Take the NLN ACE-1 PN to RN exam for Level II and achieve the required minimum score of 75.
4. Submit a transcript(s) from other institutions of higher education you may have attended since
starting the nursing program.
5 Student will request a recommendation from two instructors in the program. Recommendations will
typically be based upon input from instructors and/or the Director and shall be based upon clinical
competency, critical thinking, knowledge, attitude and ability to work with others. (The designation of
"recommended" is required to be eligible to be ranked). This reference, in addition to your ranking score
(GPA & test score formula**), will determine your entrance into the program. Faculty will review
recommendations for each student.
For these students we do not add the winter semester grades into the ranking, although the students
must still pass with a 2.5 or greater in their last semester courses. Since we are a year round program
we cannot wait until May for them to finish their coursework, as we would not be able to get ranking
done in time to start the Level II program immediately again in June.
6. Negative Drug and Alcohol screen will be required. Additionally, a Level II verification form
must be completed.
7. Applicants are ranked to determine selection Enrollment for Level II is limited to 30 seats. Applicants
are ranked for admission Entrance ranking score **formula consists of GPA from first two semesters =
25%, NLN ACE l test score = to or greater than 75%. When equally ranked applicants exceed available
seats, the following criteria in descending order will be used to determine admission:
a) In-district applicants
b) Date nursing application was received
c) Date Glen Oaks admission application was received
8. Acceptance into Level II is conditional until documentation supports you have met the following:
e) A physical exam that must reveal no medical reason which would exclude the student from
participating in the nursing program
f) A record of current immunizations per immunization policy
g) A current CPR for the health care provider card from the American Heart Association. Both
the CPR card and the immunizations must be kept current for the duration of the program

program):

Friday in January of the year you plan to attend AND submit a formally signed, typed letter indicating a
desire for admission to Level II with a copy of a current unencumbered PN license to the DON.

Pharmacology course and pass with a 2.5 minimum GPA.
i) Meet prerequisites for non-nursing courses required for Level II prior to semester in which that
course is required in nursing curriculum sequence, i.e. Biology NSB 121 is a prerequisite to

Physiology II are prerequisites to NSA212 Pathophysiology. NSA 212 Pathophysiology is
required before entrance into Level ll.
j) Complete SSP 2l0 Human Growth and Development or equivalent, if not part of your original
LPN program.

Any Criminal Felony or Misdemeanor charges on a public record must be reported to the DON
with submission of your nursing application. Acceptance into Level II is conditional on a negative
criminal background investigation and a negative drug plus alcohol screen.
