Effective fall 2013, entrance to the generic ADN program: Students will be admitted
to the program based on their scholastic eligibility and placement
on a nursing assessment test as per SB 1309. If the program is
receiving Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funding, in accordance with
the Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA), priority will be given to
applicants with proof of military, naval, or air service and
discharge under conditions other than dishonorable; students must
work with Admissions and Records to determine elgibility. An

of successfully completing the ADN program. The formula uses the
following criteria:
1.
Core
Biology GPA – all Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology courses
taken at the college level.
2.
Core Biology repetitions – the number of times
a student has repeated a Core Biology course including withdrawals.
3.
English GPA – all credit English course grades
regardless of the level of the course.
4.
Overall GPA– the college GPA as it appears on
college transcripts.
5.
Students must
have a minimum score of 75% designating the probability of
successfully completing the ADN program, to be eligible for
admission. |
Important Information for Foreign Trained
Nurses Requesting Coursework at Bakersfield College (per Board of
Registered Nursing (BRN) Letter): In order
for the Dean of Nursing to meet with you, you must first have your
official foreign transcript(s) evaluated by an outside agency; you
will need to contact an agency such as IERF (International Education
Research Foundation) or WES (World Education Services) to inquire as
to the process for that evaluation. Additionally you
must assemble the course descriptions, course syllabi or course
catalog from your nursing school which will clearly outline
topics/curriculum covered in your nursing courses. Once the evaluation from the outside agency is complete and you have obtained all nursing course descriptions, you may make an appointment with the Dean or Assistant Director (you must bring all evaluations and course descriptions) to discuss the level of course you will require. Once the Dean/Assistant Director determines the level/course(s) you are eligible for, you may apply to the program during the appropriate application period and request the level/course the Dean/Assistant Director has indicated. Entrance will be based on space availability. |
