Exit Option

Students may exit the program after the first year of the 2 year nursing program. Students complete one additional course NUR 1069 Transition into Practical Nursing (4 credits) and then are eligible to take the NCLEX-PN (practical nursing state board exam) to become a LPN. This program is a certificate program and is approved by the Colorado State Board of Nursing. LPNs are the entry level position into the nursing profession and work under the direction of a register nurse (RN) or physician.
