LICENSED VOCATIONAL NURSING PROGRAM

LVN COURSE EQUIVALENCIES

Academic transfer credit is given for equivalent course work completed at other accredited colleges and universities.  Students should consult the Director of Nursing and Health Occupations or their program advisor for evaluation of course equivalency.  For consideration of transfer credit official transcripts received in sealed envelopes and course descriptions must be sent to Enrollment Services.  Challenge credit for course content is also given to nurse assistants, home health aides, licensed psychiatric technicians, and others with equivalent work experience.

LVN PROGRAM ADVISING

Upon entry into the Licensed Vocational Nursing program the LVN lead nursing instructor becomes your program advisor to assist you with assessing course requirements (pre-requisites, etc.), exploring career options, and completing program planning.  It is the student's responsibility to schedule an appointment for program advising before registration, or at any time during the educational program as questions arise.

The Director of Nursing and Health Occupations is also available to all students for advising, transfer to other institutions, and career options.  All requests for nursing course equivalency of classes taken at other colleges and universities should be submitted to the Health Occupations Director as early as possible to ensure that course requirements are met.  A form is available from the Health Occupations Department office for this purpose.
