LPN student applicants will continue to be permitted to take the NLN Pharmacology placement exam for advance placement credit for NE212. Students must submit a copy of their current LPN license prior to acceptance into the BSN program. NE200T and NE200L will be prerequisites for admission into the BSN program. All other preadmission requirements remain the same. The department has established a process whereby LPN's may receive advanced placement credits by taking challenge exams.
Students complete the challenge exams the semester preceeding enrollment in the nursing major.
The challenge exams are administered by the Department of Nursing on the first Friday of fall and winter semester. To be eligible to take the examinations, students must have completed or have reasonable expectations of completing the prerequisites for the nursing major. To inform the department of intent to take the challenge exams, students must file an application with current transcript of grades with the Department of Nursing by February 1 for the succeeding fall semester and by October 1 for the succeeding winter semester. Students must pay an exam administration fee. Contact the Department of Nursing office for an application.
