Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX-RN) and apply to a Board of Nursing for licensure as registered nurses.

Students who apply to the LPN-RN Track program must hold a current PN license in good standing and have graduated from an accredited PN program.
