There are a number of steps in applying for admission to the Practical Nursing program at Hunter Business School. The two most important pages on this site to give you background information in the process are the Practical Nursing Admission Criteria and the Practical Nursing Applicant Rubric. In addition to what your Admissions representative tells you, these two web pages give you the most detailed instructions you will need.
A rubric is a scoring guide to evaluate a candidate’s strengths and weaknesses when applying to enroll. It is filled out by the department chairperson during the interview, and each category is assigned a number of points.
Tap or click on the image below to bring you to the rubric.
While the web page links mentioned above give you the most comprehensive and complete information you’ll need to begin your journey—along with the material provided by your Admissions representative—the paragraphs below give you a broad overview with web page links that contain tips to help you in the process.
