Nursing LPN to BSN Track (BSN, Offered at UMFK and UMPI campuses)

Students who are already Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) may receive a block transfer for the courses listed below into the Nursing (BSN, Offered at UMFK and UMPI campuses) . This totals 19 semester hours and can significantly shorten the length of time to complete the BSN degree.

Courses included in the block transfer upon evidence of LPN licensure:

Upon successful completion of the program and fulfillment of all University graduation requirements, the student is awarded a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in nursing and is eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). As part of the licensure application process, arrest and court records of final adjudication for any offense other than a minor traffic violation must be submitted for review to the Maine State Board of Nursing. The Maine State Board of Nursing may refuse to grant a license on the basis of a criminal record for convictions denominated in Title V Chapter 341 Section 5301 Subsection II of the Maine Revised Statutes Annotated. Applications of those who have been convicted of a felony and whose civil rights have been removed are considered to be incomplete until documentation that civil rights have been regained is presented to the Maine State Board of Nursing. Prospective and current students with a criminal history are responsible for contacting the Maine State Board of Nursing to ensure their licensing eligibility.
