General Information
The LPN to RN Transition Pathway is designed to provide LPNs with a current unrestricted license in the Commonwealth of Virginia or multi-state license the opportunity to use credit for prior learning to earn the Associate of Applied Science degree in Nursing (Plan Code 156, CIP Code 51.3801), and eligibility to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN).

A separate application is required. For more information or to apply to the LPN-RN Nursing program, please contact the Nursing Department at 540-863-2838.
