Our Practical Nurse training will have you ready for your career in as little as one year! Anyone wishing to start MPI s Practical Nursing program must follow a series of steps before enrolling. Prospective students must first pass a Pre-Application Assessment test. Once the Pre-Application Assessment Test is passed students will be eligible to take the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS). The TEAS is a 4 hour test on the subjects of Reading, Math, English, and Science. Passing scores will be given by each person s respective Admissions Counselor. The TEAS costs $60 per test. Once the TEAS has been passed with the acceptable scores prospects will be given an application packet. To be prepared the documents that will be needed include, but are not limited to: High School Diploma or GED with Transcripts A valid high school diploma and transcripts are required for anyone who plans to attend classes at MPI.
