Advanced Placement for Licensed Practical Nurses

Licensed practical nurses may apply for advanced placement into Year 2 of the four-year BScN program, dependent on seat availability.

Applicants who have a combination of nursing education and work experience of at least 1,600 hours as a licensed practical nurse, may be granted appropriate credit in the program.

Application process

Admission requirements are the same for all applicants applying for the BScN program. You must apply into the BScN program, regardless of whether you wish to go into Year 1 or Year 2. If you would like to be considered for Year 2, make a note in the comments section of the online application.

Admission to Year 2 of the full-time BScN program is offered upon seat availability. In recent years, few if any seats have come open. You will be notified of acceptance into Year 2 only if a BScN seat becomes available.
