In the program, LPN’s will be able to progress with testing to verify previous nursing education. Up to twelve hours of nursing credit may be awarded after successful completion of the LPN transition course, NURS 1019  and successful completion of competency testing.

Admission Requirements

To be eligible for admission, students must meet the criteria presented in Nursing, ASN . In addition to meeting these criteria, students must also hold an unencumbered LPN license in the State of Louisiana.
