• Having a previous Bachelor's Master's, and/or Doctoral degree(s) DOES NOT guarantee s seat in either the Phase 2 Nursing Courses/Phase 2 Nursing Courses/Phase 3 Nursing Professional Courses and is not considered a ranking factor.
• Meeting the minimum criteria for ranking does not guarantee selection to the Phase 2 Nursing Course. Acceptance to the Phase 2 Nursing does not automatically guarantee a seat in the Phase 3 Nursing Professional Courses.
