Nursing - Transition Pathways (Additional Information)

https://chattanoogastate.edu/nursing-transition-additional-information

The purpose of the Nursing Transition Program is to offer an accelerated curriculum track for LPN’s and licensed paramedics who wish to pursue the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Nursing and RN licensure for upgrading of both degree and professional skills. The transition programs are an adaptation of the associate degree nursing curriculum that recognizes the knowledge and skills of the licensed practical nurse or paramedic. Following completion of a transition course, LPN’s and paramedics are awarded credit for the first year nursing courses and enter the second year. The LPN to RN transition course is five credit hours and is offered each summer; the transition course for the paramedic is seven credit hours and is offered every other year (summer of even years).
