Licensure Results

Bi-Level Nursing Program

Jefferson College offers two separate nursing programs:

• Level I/PN [Certificate]

  • Current Level I/PN students meeting progression requirements (i.e. maintain a cumulative 85% average in all Level I/PN courses) are automatically admitted to the Level II/RN program.

• Level II/RN [Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree]
  

  • A limited number of already practicing LPN's are admitted to the Level II/RN program on a space available basis only as Bridge students.

Having two separate nursing programs means there will be differences in program requirements for both applicants & current students.

Admission Information & Progression

The Bi-level Nursing Program admits all beginning nursing students to Level I/PN, with students progressing to Level II/RN after graduation from Level I/PN. A limited number of already practicing LPN's are admitted to Level II/RN on a space available basis only. All students progressing within the program must meet progression requirements, including licensure as an LPN by midterm of the first semester of Level II/RN. Once progression requirements are met, admission to Level II/RN is automatic; reapplication is not necessary. 

Group Nursing Tours

Our group nursing tours are offered twice a month and are hosted by the Jefferson College Office of Admissions in conjunction with the Nursing Department. If you would like to join us for a guided group nursing tour, please reserve your spot.
