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.

The TEAS® V is a multiple-choice assessment of basic academic knowledge in reading, mathematics, science and English and language usage. The objectives assessed on the TEAS® exam are those which nurse educators deemed most appropriate and relevant to measure entry level skills and abilities of nursing program applicants. The test time limit is 209 minutes. There are 170 total questions.
