Nursing Program Entrance Testing

The DCC Nursing Program will be accepting applications for the RN program for Fall 2026 between January 19-April 18, 2026.

All students applying to the DCC Nursing program must achieve a composite score of 65% for all four sections of the ATI TEAS: Reading, Mathematics, English & Language Usage, and Science. Students will have only three attempts per acceptance period. Each attempt must be at least 2 weeks apart to allow for remediation.

Did you know that 40% of students take the TEAS test more than once? The biggest mistake students make on the TEAS is not taking the time to review and study.
