Practical Nursing: The first year of the nursing program constitutes the practical nursing curriculum. In this option, you receive an Institutional Certificate from WSU after one year of study. For licensure as a practical nurse (LPN), you must take the National Council of Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN)
- Straight AS/AAS: In this option, you must complete two years of study. If selected for associate’s degree nursing, you may take the NCLEX-PN through the equivalency clause in the Utah Nurse Practice Act at completion of your first year. The additional year of course work entitles you to take the National Examination for licensure as a registered nurse (NCLEX-RN).
-
PN to AS/AAS (PN to RN): This entry option is open only to LPNs and other qualified health care workers. Entering students enroll for the second year of the nursing program, and graduates take the NCLEX-RN at completion of this curricular year.
-
RN to BSN: Only RNs have the option of achieving the bachelor’s degree in nursing. Provided you meet admission criteria, you may directly enter the section of the program after graduation from the associate’s degree level. Also, RNs from other associate’s degree or diploma programs, or those who have been out of school, can enter the RN to BSN option. A two-year upper-division curriculum rounds out the nursing program at this level.
