A central component
of the BEST Program targets Core Curriculum students, enrolled at
Hunter College, interested in applying to the School of Nursing. BEST
Program activities and support are geared towards increasing their
chance of successful admission to the major. In partnership with other
campus student support services, the program offers incoming students
an array of workshops on college-survival skills such as time and
stress management and test taking strategies. Program tutors assist
students in the science and math courses that are prerequisites for
the Nursing major. The School of Nursing is a highly selective program
within Hunter College with a large number of applicants every year.
The additional counseling and advising offered by the BEST Program
help students to boost their qualifications for admissions.
All
Core Curriculum BEST Program students take a diagnostic Nursing Entrance
Test in the fall semester. Results from this exam are reviewed to
indicate areas that may need remediation or additional support before
taking the NLN Pre-Admission Exam required of all School of Nursing
applicants. By targeting student preparation to areas of demonstrated
weakness, the program strives to raise the eventual test score of
the students and increase their chance of admission to the Nursing
major.
