The Associate in Applied Science in Nursing is designed to prepare students for entry-level positions as registered nurses and to provide continued learning and career mobility in nursing for licensed practical nurses. This Associate in Applied Science in Nursing Program is designed for prior-year graduates of Kirtland’s LPN programs. Applicants must possess an LPN license when applying to the program and must have earned a 3.0 or higher G.P.A. in specific PN courses to be considered for admission into the LPN to ADN program. Following successful completion of the LPN to ADN program, graduates are eligible to take the license exam to practice as a Registered Nurse (RN). Each class of nursing students is considered a cohort (group) and courses/schedules are assigned. Graduates of the LPN to ADN Program are qualified to enter the many BSN completion programs available.
