LPN to ADN Transition Program Overview

A special program has been developed for those LPNs who might choose to extend their course of study and apply for admission with advanced standing. LPNs who meet the general college admission requirements may enroll in General Studies and applied education courses. An applicant must be a graduate of a state-approved school of practical nursing, demonstrate proof of a current unrestricted Ohio license, and meet the same admission as other Registered Nursing students. Students will be admitted into the transitional coursework based upon space availability. The applied education and nursing clinical courses must be completed within three (3) calendar years. 

Scholarship Opportunity 

Rhodes State has been awarded a Choose Ohio First (COF) Scholarship grant by the Ohio Department of Higher Education. The grant provides scholarships to students majoring in disciplines that significantly strengthen Ohio’s competitiveness in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and Medicine (STEMM) education and industry.
