Level I Practical Nursing (LPN) Certificate
Level I Practical Nursing (LPN) Certificate
at Jefferson College
St. Louis Catalog
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 LPNs 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.
