Basic Nurse Assistant Training
Program--Course
Requirements
Step 1:
Before enrolling in this program, students must first document a reading level
of 8th grade or higher. To accomplish this, students must take the COMPASS
Reading Placement Test. Successful completion of the COMPASS Reading Placement
Test at 071 level or higher is required for admission to the BNAT Program. The
approximate cost of the COMPASS Reading Placement Test is $8 (See
student resources for COMPASS lab hours).
Some students may be excused from taking the
COMPASS Reading Placement Test because of previous academic work, i.e., college
credits already earned. Students who think they may be exempted from the COMPASS
Reading Placement Test should meet with an Academic Advisor. While all of our
Academic Advisors are excellent, Ali Riphagen and Lissette Alvarado have worked
the most closely with students enrolled in Health Science Programs. To make an
appointment with Ali or Lissette, call (708) 974-5721.
