The Nurse Entrance Test (NET) is given in Brady from late February until early summer; the duration of testing is dependent on class size. NET results will be sent to the applicant as soon as they are available. The minimum acceptable NET test scores are as follows: math composite of 65% with no more than three subject areas below 70% and a reading composite of 51% on the same test. The test can be repeated as scheduling permits with a cumulative maximum of three test opportunities per applicant.

A second test is required, the ACT ASSET, Accuplacer, or THEA. Please read the separate information form regarding this requirement and testing arrangements. The Brownwood TSTC site is very convenient for applicants in this area.

All applicants who have completed the application documents and passed one of the two required admission tests will receive a letter with an appointment for the first orientation meeting by early June. Individual status will be reviewed at the orientation meeting.

Anyone who completed the NET in previous years and is interested in entrance into the upcoming class needs to contact the staff and complete a new application.

All letters regarding potential status in the Brady Ext. Vocational Nursing Program will come directly from Brady.
