To progress into the Clinical Phase of the Nursing program, students must:

Maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 in all the required pre-requisite courses, with no grade less than "B-" in ENG 110, BIO 230, BIO 240, BIO 310, CHE 105, and MAT 120; all Science courses are valid for 5 years only; only one repeat of any one pre-requisite course is permitted, except if that course was taken in the Spring 2020 Semester. Any course taken in the Spring 2020 Semester may be repeated and it does not count as the one allowed repeat.
Have completed all course work at time of registration to the Nursing Program. No incomplete grades are accepted for any required or elective course.
Completion of all pre-requisites courses is mandatory. Students are officially nursing majors upon notification of entry into NUR 216, Fundamentals of Nursing.

Students seeking to take the ATI TEAS exam for entry into the RN or LPN Programs at Hostos Community College must meet the following requirements:

Students who have met all the pre-requisite course requirements and are currently enrolled at Hostos Community College are permitted to take the ATI-TEAS exam. Students are encouraged to seek academic counseling with nursing faculty or email Professor Juan Lacay, (JLacay@hostos.cuny.edu), for academic advisement at the completion of all pre-requisites (other than BIO 310) in order to be listed for the ATI-TEAS exams.
Students who have met all the pre-requisite course requirements and failed the ATI TEAS exam the first time are permitted to take the ATI TEAS a second time on campus as scheduled.
Transfer students who are currently enrolled in Hostos Community College, or have e-permit courses at Hostos, and have met the pre-requisite course requirements are permitted to take the ATI TEAS; students must seek academic counseling with nursing faculty or email Prof Lacay in order to be listed for the ATI TEAS.
The Clinical phase of the Nursing Program has limited capacity. When more students seek entry than can be accommodated, entry will be competitive based on:
1. Highest GPA in the pre-requisite courses required for Nursing;
2. Highest scores on the ATI TEAS Exam;
3. There is no waiting list; the application process begins anew annually.
4. All applicants for admission into nursing clinical must provide documentation in one of the following categories, in accord with CUNY Policy:
  1. US Citizenship
  2. Permanent Residency
  3. International Student with F1 status
  4. Granted Asylum, Refugee status, temporary protected status, withholding of removal, or deferred action status by the US government.
