Make-Up Testing (for EMCC students who missed an in-class exam)

Applicants who feel they have sufficient behavioral health/psychiatric didactic and clinical content completed through coursework and/or work-related experience may request to waive NCE214OP by taking the HESI Psychiatric Content specialty examination.  A score of 850 or higher is required to waive NCE214OP.  Scores are valid for 6 months.  Students must obtain permission from the Nursing Director at their home campus to take the HESI Psychiatric Content examination.  (At EMCC, students should contact amy.johnson@estrellamountain.edu for permission to take the exam.)  

The HESI Psychiatric Content examination is a placement test and may only be attempted once.  If the minimum score is not achieved, NCE214OP will need to be taken to be considered for placement into Block 3.  The student may also elect to apply for placement into Block 2 if they do not achieve 850 on the placement exam or do not wish to take NCE214OP.
 
Hesi Psychiatric Content Exam fee is $45 for students testing for the MCCCD Nursing program.  (Students testing for an institution outside of the Maricopa Colleges must pay an additional $35 proctor fee.)
