Selection Procedure

1. The application for B.A.C.N. should be filled out when all admission requirements have been met.
2. Applicant’s name will be placed on the eligibility list in the order of date and time received. The application fee is due at this time.
3. Applicants shall be competitively screened for the open slots based on qualifications, quota and requirements for admission. The final phase of the selection process will be an interview with the prospective student.
4. Enrolment must be completed within ten (10) days from acceptance in the program. Failure to do so will disqualify the applicant from admission.
5. When class size has been filled, the next three (3) applicants will be identified as “alternates”. Alternates will attend classes through the Fundamentals period (first 3 weeks of program).
6. The alternate at the top of the list at time of an opening will be allowed to replace any student who leaves the program during this time. If an alternate does not replace a student, he/she will be guaranteed admission to the next class. The alternate who becomes a student in the next class is not required to attend class days already completed; however, attendance is encouraged to refresh skills.

Time and Location
Theory classes will be held in the classroom and clinical hours am or pm shift will be at the contracted training facilities or skills laboratory.  B.A.C.N. has the right to change class and clinical locations, times and days, if deemed appropriate, with sufficient notice.  Being a student in VN program requires full time focus and concentration.  Personal and employment reasons will not be accommodated by B.A.C.N. as a result of the change.

Please Note

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children’s education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level.

The HIPAA Privacy Rule provides federal protections for personal health information held by covered entities and gives patients an array of rights with respect to that information. At the same time, the Privacy Rule is balanced so that it permits the disclosure of personal health information needed for patient care and other important purposes.

FERPA and HIPAA forms are available at the main campus in Palo Alto.
