Nursing Entrance Test (NET)

The NET is required of all students entering WVC's Nursing Program. The NET has been demonstrated to be a good diagnostic indicator of a prospective student's aptitude for success in a nursing program. It also can be a very useful tool for students, instructors and administrators. For students, the NET identifies strengths and weaknesses that can be useful in academic planning.
