Description
NPC Nursing Options include:
• LNA to RN Pathway Multiple Exit Program
• LPN to RN Pathway
• Paramedic to RN Pathway
• RN Refresher Class
The nursing pathways prepare students to make application to take the National Council Licensing Examination for practical nurse (NCLEX-PN) and/or registered nursing (NCLEX-RN). Successful completion of the certifying exam qualifies students for entry-level positions in providing direct patient care. Admission to or graduation from the NPC Nursing program at
any level does not guarantee licensure by the Arizona State Board
of Nursing.
When the graduate becomes a registered nurse, he or she can apply to Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University or other universities or colleges to complete the upper division courses in nursing that apply to a BSN. Check with your NPC or university academic adviser or visit
www.npc.edu/registered-nursing-rn
Requirements:
Note: Admission to the college does not guarantee admission to the Nursing Program.
Graduates must satisfy the licensing requirements of the Arizona State Board of Nursing independently of any college requirements per the Arizona Nurse Practice Act. Under Arizona Law, an applicant could be denied licensure as a registered or practical nurse if convicted of a felony or addicted to habit-forming drugs, or if the applicant in any other way fails to meet qualifications required by law.
• Applicants to the LNA to RN nursing pathway must hold a current Arizona Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA) license in good standing.
• Applicants to the LPN to RN pathway must hold a valid Arizona Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) license that is active and in good standing.
• Applicants to the Paramedic (EMT) to RN pathway must be an active certified paramedic with a minimum of one year experience as a paramedic.
• Applicants to the RN Refresher program must acquire a temporary license from the Arizona State Board of Nursing upon acceptance into the NPC program.
