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).
