The Nurse Entrance Test, also known as the NET is the admissions test for the Surgical Technology Program. Based on the results from the test, we accept the top 24 candidates into the program. The test covers basic math and reading. There is a study guide available for purchase, Study Guide for The NET, The HOBET, The HELP entrance tests, by Michael D. Frost, PhD and Mitchell D. Jarvis, BSCS, BSM. The book includes samples of the type of questions offered on the NET and it can be purchased at any of the NCTC bookstores for about $40.00. NET testing is done in June of every year.

Authorization to Test Form

At the advisement session, the student will schedule an appointment and receive an Authorization to Test form to take the NET. If the student looses the Authorization to Test form, they must attend another advisement session. Also if the student does not bring the Authorization to Test form on the day they take the NET test, they will not be allowed to test, nor will the Surgical Technology faculty and staff give out another form. The student is responsible for keeping up with the testing form.
