Smith School of Nursing and Health Sciences<\/a>, the Accelerated LPN to BSN Program offers a streamlined and supportive pathway for licensed practical nurses to advance their education and transition into the professional role of the registered nurse. Building on prior knowledge and clinical experience, the program prepares students to deliver safe, high-quality, evidence-based care while strengthening critical thinking, leadership, and clinical judgment skills essential for today\u2019s healthcare environment.<\/p>\n<p>Designed for working nurses, this hybrid program provides a structured yet flexible learning experience that supports continued professional responsibilities. Completed in just 18 months over five continuous semesters, the program integrates web-enhanced coursework, monthly on-campus intensives, and clinical experiences arranged in locations closest to the student\u2019s place of residence. Throughout the program, students develop advanced clinical competencies and a strong foundation in evidence-based practice, preparing them for success as professional registered nurses. Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN\u00ae).[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221;][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221;
