LVN Option
	
The LVN-BSN track offers the licensed vocational nurse (LVN) an educational program to obtain the baccalaureate degree in nursing. Classroom and clinical experiences function to prepare the LVN for the professional nurse role at the baccalaureate level. Upon graduation the LVN is eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN)
The curriculum flow is designed for the LVN to complete the degree requirements in four academic semesters of full time study. Part time study is an option for those who cannot take a full semester of course work.
