LPN to BSN Advanced Placement Program

Applicants admitted to the nursing sequence who graduated 24 months or less from a practical nursing program must complete a validation examination with a score of greater than or equal to 75% to receive advanced placement credit for NURS 311V. The validation examination may only be taken once. Applicants admitted who graduated 25 months or more from a practical nursing program must take course NURS 311V, and thereby do not qualify for advanced placement.

All programs offered in the School of Nursing are approved by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing. Upon graduation, the student is qualified to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) to become a registered nurse.
