If you are a licensed practical (vocational) nurse with an associate degree in nursing and want to complete a baccalaureate degree in nursing and become eligible for licensure as a registered nurse, we invite you to explore the North Dakota State University (NDSU) nursing program. We offer a curricular pathway tailored for the working LPN. 

NDSU nursing program provides an opportunity for nurses to earn a bachelor's degree primarily on-line. The sequence of nursing courses is six semesters (including summers) in length. The program requires time on campus during the summer sessions. Some general education courses must be completed prior to admission, other general education courses can be taken concurrently with the nursing courses. Some general education courses may not be available online.

For information contact Jana Stenson, Coordinator, Department of Nursing, NDSU jana.stenson@ndsu.edu (701)231-7395.

The advanced placement exam required for admission to the LPN-to-BSN program at NDSU. The 2008 exams will be announced in May.   Advance registration for the exam is required.  Registration must be accompanied by a non-refundable payment of $180.  There are three examinations: Adult Health Nursing, Mental Health Nursing and Maternal-Child Nursing.
