The Ozarka College nursing department is currently accepting applications for the Spring 2016 Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) program in Melbourne and Mammoth Spring. LPN applications will be accepted through November 1 for spring semester program admission. Interested students may apply to the LPN Program by completing an Ozarka College online application for admissions, designating Technical Certificate, Licensed Practical Nursing as the intended college major. If applicants are a transfer student, they also need to have official transcripts sent directly to the Ozarka College Admissions office from the previous college(s) attended.

Once application has been submitted, applicants are to contact the Ozarka College Testing Center to schedule seating for the Wonderlic Scholastic Level Exam and the LPN Entrance Exam (TEAS). Students may sign up no earlier than 30 days prior to test date, may only test once per application period, and must test in the same semester of application. If transferring test scores from another college, official TEAS and Wonderlic scores from that college will be accepted; however, additional testing at Ozarka will not be allowed. Failure to complete each step will result in an incomplete file and the applicant will not be considered.

Students with the highest compiled scores will be invited into the ensuing class. Mid-term grades may be used for scoring, but a final grade of C or higher is required for pre-requisites. In the case of a tie, date and time of application will determine class placement.

For more information about the application process, please contact Ozarka College Admissions by calling 870.368.2013, or the Ozarka College Nursing Department at 870.368.2081.
