The NET test is given in Brady every two weeks from late February until early May. 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 3 subject areas below 70% and a reading composite of 51% on the same test. The test can be repeated as scheduling permits. Test scores must be submitted by May 28 if the test is taken at another site (you need to arrange this).

A second test is required, the ACT ASSET, Acuplacer or THEA. Please read the separate information form regarding this requirement and testing arrangements.

Once all scores are available the group of candidates for interview will be chosen. A maximum of 25 applicants will be interviewed. All applicants will receive a letter with an interview appointment or status report by early June. The interviews will be conducted in mid June.

All letters regarding potential status in the Brady Ext. Vocational Nursing Program will come directly from Brady. Selection of the class and 3 alternates will be made and the applicants will be notified by letter.
