MANE Mission and Vision

The mission of the Minnesota Alliance for Nursing Education (MANE) is to increase baccalaureate prepared nurses through collaborative, transformative educational strategies. Through increased access to baccalaureate nursing education MANE will prepare professional nurses to

promote health and meet the evolving and complex healthcare needs of an increasingly diverse population in Minnesota.

The purpose of the Minnesota Alliance for Nursing Education is to improve access to baccalaureate education in Minnesota, closely aligning nursing education with emerging health care needs and health care system changes. Students admitted to a MANE collaborating college or university will be enrolled in a four year (eight-semester) baccalaureate program, which will incorporate curriculum designed to facilitate deep, contextually grounded learning which prepares them for the rapidly changing health care environment upon graduation.

MANE Nursing Program Curriculum

The MANE curriculum is transformative, moving away from independent silos of education to collaboration between universities, community colleges and practice. MANE is a collaborative between community college and university nursing programs to provide increased student access to a baccalaureate program and attainment of a Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN) degree. Students admitted to a community college MANE program will be dually admitted to Metropolitan State University.

The program was built following a thorough analysis of national standards including AACN, CCNE, NLN, ACEN (NLNAC), PEW, OCNE, and QSEN from which ten program competencies have been developed. This 120 credit, eight semester program has collaboratively developed prerequisites, admission processes, grading scales, and a Program Plan across all collaborating colleges and universities. The MANE Program Plan content is taught within a concept-based curriculum which spirals concepts throughout each semester of the program.

MANE Program Plan

The MANE Program Plan content is taught within a concept-based curriculum which spirals concepts throughout the program. Nursing courses are sequential in nature due to the spiraled teaching/learning methodology.

The MANE Program Plan is a baccalaureate curriculum based on The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education (AACN, 2008) with Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLO’s) benchmarked at the fifth

and eight semesters of the program. A student enrolled at a MANE community college will receive an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing at the successful completion of the fifth semester. The student is expected to continue to the completion of the Bachelor of Science in nursing degree.

An applicant admitted to the MANE collaborating college will be considered dually admitted to a collaborating university.

Revised July 26, 2018 Page 4

Criteria for Application to the Century College MANE Nursing Program

attended Century College as a credit based student, should submit a Century College application with the $20 application fee prior to or concurrent to submitting a Nursing program application.

b. Applicants to Century College must be in good academic and financial standing at all previously attended MnSCU institutions or college admission will be denied

2. Completion of the Accuplacer assessment tests in Reading and Writing with scores at college

3. Submission of official transcripts from all institutions attended. a. ALL vocational/college/university official transcripts must be sent to Century College

Transfer Student Services/DARS office. b. High school transcripts are also required and must be sent to the Century College

4. A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 based on the first semester of the MANE curriculum plan. (see Appendix A)

a. Official transcripts will be used to calculate GPA. b. The most recent course grade will be used for the GPA calculation, whether it is higher

or lower than previous grades. c. Each course of the MANE curriculum plan must have been achieved with a letter grade

of C or better. d. Full acceptance to the MANE collaborating college and university is dependent on

successful completion of the second semester of the MANE curriculum plan (see Appendix A), maintaining a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.75, including criteria in numbers 3 and 4 above.

5. All applicants are required to complete the most current Assessment Technologies Institute

(ATI), standardized Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) prior to application deadlines. a. The best score achieved of all TEAS tests taken by the applicant may be used. b. The applicant may specify which testing site and date they achieved their best score and

c. Applicants must have a minimum TEAS composite score of 58.7% (Proficient) to be considered for selection.

TEAS Testing Process: The TEAS exam will be administered via ATI, INC. at specified member MANE colleges/university. Registration and payment of fees will be on-line via ATI.

Revised July 26, 2018 Page 5

ATI will send a transcript report of TEAS results to the college/university(s) to which the applicant applied at no charge to the school.

Admissions and advising may also search for a student TEAS scores on the ATI website. Applicants who opt to take the TEAS test at a non-MANE member site will be required to

purchase a transcript from ATI and have it sent to Admissions at Century College. It may be possible to have an official transcript made available to Century College free of charge by obtaining permission from the non-MANE member site. It is the responsibility of the applicant to investigate this possibility.

The fee paid by the student to ATI, INC. is $80.00 (subject to change): $58.00 for the exam $12.00 processing fee $10.00 processing fee (paid back to the college/university by ATI for

proctoring costs as a testing site)

The student may access study materials, if desired, at: http://www.atitesting.com/solutions/prenursingschool/teas/study-guide.aspx

Century College will make reasonable accommodations to all qualified students with disabilities, through Disability Services. Students requesting accommodations for TEAS testing are directed to test at a campus where they will be submitting an application to MANE.

a. Licensed practical Nurses (LPN) must maintain unencumbered licensure from any state in the United States.

Selection Criteria for Acceptance/Admission to MANE Nursing Program

Ranking of applicants will be based on the following criteria:

1. TEAS composite score divided by a factor of 10 (Ex: Composite score of 72% = 7.2) 2. First semester GPA of MANE Program Plan (Ex: 2.75) 3. The combined total TEAS and GPA score will be utilized to rank applicants for order

of acceptance. (Ex: 7.20 + 2.75 = 9.95 ranking score) 4. In the event of a tied combined total TEAS and GPA score, the applicant with the highest TEAS

science sub-score will advance in rank order for acceptance. If a further tie exists, the applicant with the highest TEAS math sub-score will advance in rank order for acceptance.

5. All applicants, regardless of LPN status, will be placed into a common applicant pool based on numeric score as identified in criteria 1-3.

6. Full acceptance to the MANE collaborating college and university is dependent on successful completion of the second semester of the MANE curriculum plan, maintaining a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.75, including obtaining a grade of C or greater in all required courses.
