LPN to RN
Overview
Trinity Health System School of Nursing offers a unique and dynamic LPN-to-RN articulation track. The accepted LPN student must successfully complete a 6 week non-credit Transition Course in October-November prior to entering the program in the Spring Semester. The LPN student will graduate after successfully completing five semesters/sessions after entrance. The LPN student also has the option of entering the program from the beginning thereby eliminating the Transition Course requirement, and instead, taking the N200 course.
In addition to the pre-admission educational requirements stated in the Admission Policy, the LPN applicant is required to possess a current, unencumbered, LPN license at the time of acceptance, having achieved a C or above in all nursing courses. This LPN license can also be used to satisfy the GPA and algebra I course requirements.
Trinity School of Nursing will grant credit to the LPN student for:
- N200 Fundamentals of Nursing Practice
- BIO2114 Anatomy and Physiology – if not already completed with a C or above, must be completed prior to entering program in N201
Credit may be granted for the following courses if coursework has been successfully completed with a C or above and is comparable in content/practicum as those offered by Trinity School of Nursing. If credit is not granted, these courses must be taken as part of the curriculum:
- BIO2120 Microbiology
- PSY1120 General Psychology
- PSY1130 Human Development
- SOC1110 Sociology
In addition to the successful completion of the non nursing courses above (if applicable), the student must successfully complete the following coursework to be a candidate for graduation:
- N201 Nursing Care of the Adult I
- N202 Nursing Care of the Adult II
- N203 Maternal-Child Nursing
- N204 Nursing Care of the Patient in Crisis
- N205 Transition to Professional Practice
The School establishes the same graduation requirements for basic and articulation students.
