Academic Programs Nursing AAS, Nursing – LPN to RN (upon licensure)
Program Available:
· Tri-County Cincinnati Campus
This program provides a means by which the student may pursue licensure as a Practical Nurse and, upon licensure, continue the program toward licensure as a Registered Nurse. Currently licensed Practical Nurses may enter the program as late as the sixth quarter, depending upon the amount of previous coursework accepted. Graduates of this program must pass the appropriate National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) in order to be eligible for licensure and employment as registered nurses.
In order to enroll for completion of the associate degree (quarters 6 through 10), the applicant must hold current, unrestricted licensure as a Practical Nurse and must meet specific general education course requirements as determined by the Nursing Department. An official transcript of course work and documentation of licensure are required. Those enrolling directly into the sixth quarter are exempted from completing courses in medical terminology and mathematics, as well as all practical nursing courses. Acceptance of general education courses is determined on a course-by-course basis.
This program is approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing, the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools, and the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools.

How much student loan debt does a typical graduate have to repay after graduation?
The median loan debt of the program’s graduates is defined as the midpoint of all graduates’ loan debts upon graduation.
This program has not yet enrolled students and therefore has no graduates.
What percent of graduates completes the program in the normal time frame as published in the catalog?
A continuously enrolled full-time student who successfully completes all of his or her courses will normally complete this program in 11 quarters. The time normally required for program completion may be reduced through courses credited by transfer or proof of proficiency, or extended by course failures and withdrawals, institutional withdrawals, leaves of absence, or change of enrollment status from full-time to part-time.
What percent of graduates found employment related to their field of study?
Placement is reported in the campus’ Campus Accountability Report to the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. The most recent Report covers the period from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011
“Placement” refers to employment in the field for which the graduate’s education has prepared him or her, or in a related field which requires substantial application of the skills and knowledge taught in the curriculum.
The placement rate is determined by dividing the number of available graduates placed by the total number of available graduates. The Accrediting Council does not require institutions to report placement for graduates who are not available for placement due to continuing education, active military duty, visa restrictions, or pregnancy, death, and health-related circumstances. Further information pertaining to the employment of graduates may be obtained from the College’s Office of Career Services at dfuller@beckfield.edu.
