Description
The ADN Program, LPN/LVN to ADN Bridge Option educates licensed practical/vocational nurses (LPNs/LVNs) for the role of a registered nurse (RN). Graduates earn an Associate Degree in Nursing and are prepared to take the NCLEX-RN®, which they must pass before they can be employed as a licensed registered nurse. The quarter-calendar program offers hands-on learning, with general education alongside the nursing curriculum. The Wichita campus was established in Summer 2023 and the first anticipated graduation for the ADN Program, LPN/LVN to ADN Bridge Option will occur in Winter 2024, therefore completion and placement data are not readily available.
