CIHS Admissions 2026: Important Deadlines

The National Testing Service (NTS) has listed October 24, 2026, as the application deadline for admission testing for Generic BS Nursing and Post RN BSN programs.

For the separately advertised diploma programs, NTS lists September 18, 2026, as the application deadline. Since this date has already passed, candidates interested in diploma admissions should contact CIHS to confirm whether applications are still being accepted or a new deadline has been announced.

Applicants should check the official NTS website for the latest admission test information and application instructions.
