Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) students have the opportunity to challenge five specific courses in Nursing by successfully completing examinations from National League for Nursing (NLN) Mobility Examinations. The NLN Mobility Examinations include: Principles of Nursing, Nutrition, Obstetrics, Pediatrics, and Psychiatric/Mental Health. These examinations are used to facilitate the LPN to RN transition.
For details and enrollment information, contact the Coordinator of the LPN/BSN program.
License to Practice
Candidates for a license to practice in the health field are required to have “good moral character.” The Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing takes into consideration, when deciding on the applications for registration and a license to practice under their jurisdiction, whether candidates have been convicted of any felony or misdemeanor. Candidates are referred to the regulations specified in the Professional Nurse Law (P.L. 317, No. 69).
