Baccalaureate Degree - LPN-BS track
Indiana State University's Baccalaureate Track for Licensed Practical Nurses offers vocational nurses a means through which they may complete a baccalaureate degree in nursing and achieve eligibility to apply to take the RN licensure examination.
Students are held to the same progression, retention, and dismissal policies as student in the four year baccalaureate program of study.
Graduates are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) for entry into practice as a registered nurse. The baccalaureate degree program is recognized as the basic preparation for professional nursing practice, and prepares the graduate as a generalist.
Baccalaureate graduates are prepared to provide direct and indirect nursing care. The graduate also is prepared as a communicator, educator, and advocate and can assume beginning leadership roles. Baccalaureate nursing education is foundational for graduate study in nursing.
The program leading to the baccalaureate degree is approved by the Indiana State Board of Nursing and is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, Inc. (NLNAC).
