Nursing

Jefferson College offers a comprehensive Bi-level Nursing Program, which includes both Level I/PN (Practical Nurse) and Level II/RN (Registered Nurse) tracks, ensuring structured pathways for nursing students to progress in their education and licensure.
A male and female nursing students.

Program Overview

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. This structure enables students to complete their education efficiently while ensuring they meet all necessary licensure requirements.

  • 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, etc.) 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.

Academic Plan

The Academic Plan is a semester-by-semester plan for the full-time student. Part-time students should work with an advisor to customize the map to fit individual needs.
