Admission to Licensed Practical Nurse to Registered Nurse (LPN to RN) Completion Program-Nursing
Admission to Licensed Practical Nurse to Registered Nurse (LPN to RN) Completion Program is designed to
give recognition for knowledge and skills attainted by students who have graduated from approved practical or vocational nursing
programs and who currently hold an unencumbered LPN license. Students who are currently enrolled in a Practical Nursing
Program are eligible to apply for admission but must obtain LPN licensure prior to beginning of the fall semester for which
they are applying. Students who have been out of school for more than five years and/or lack IV theory and skills should
consider applying for admission to the Nursing Program as second semester freshman.
Admission to the Nursing Program is based on student’s highest combined Assessment Technologies, Inc (ATI) entrance exam points
and most recent cumulative GPAs. The two entrance exams are the ATI LPN STEP exam and the ATI Critical Thinking exam. The two
exams are given via an online format twice per year in October and February. Prospective students should contact the Miles
Community College Nursing Office for more information on how to register to take the exams. In case of tied scores students
shall be selected according to the highest GPA. Study materials may be obtained through the ATI website,
(www.atitesting.com.)
The deadline for registering to take the exams is three working days prior to the exam date. Students may take each ATI exam a maximum of two times per academic year. The student’s highest exam scores will be utilized for admission purposes. ATI exam points are considered valid for one year only. Therefore, if not accepted into the Nursing Program, students will need to retake the exams in order to be considered for the next year’s class. The cost of the two exams is approximately $45.00. LPN’s are admitted on a space-available basis only and must submit a completed Nursing program application by March 15th for consideration. Please contact the Nursing Office for more specific information.
A cumulative GPA of 2.75 or greater is required for entrance. Points assigned to students GPA starting at 52 and placed in descending order to 02 minimum
