Advance Standing Credit for LPNs

Advance Standing Credit for Licensed Practical Nurses

By having an active, unencumbered LPN license, SWOSU offers applicants advanced standing credit of 30 nursing credit hours. The Nursing Accelerated Challenge Exams (NACE) is no longer required for admission. There is a cost associated with this addition of prior learning credits to the student’s transcripts. Please contact the Bursar's office for information on these fees.

  • NURS 3156 Fundamentals of Nursing
  • NURS 3236 Acute & Chronic Care I
  • NURS 4376 Psychosocial Nursing
  • NURS 3256 Child Health Nursing
