Overview

What’s the next step that could lift your LPN career to a new level of responsibility and impact? The LPN to RN transition degree gives you a streamlined path through a focused blend of day or evening coursework. You’ll build on the skills you already use in practice as you strengthen clinicals, deepen your understanding of adult, maternal-newborn, behavioral health and family nursing, and gain the advanced competencies required for RN jobs. With articulated credit that honors your LPN training, this program gets you into higher-level nursing sooner while preparing you for the NCLEX-RN exam and licensure.

Note: Space is limited in this program. In addition to applying to Clark State, students must also apply to this program. Please meet with your advisor to ensure all requirements are met.
