I was wondering if anyone here has done the OU LPN to BSN program. I have applied for this fall but won't know if I'm in until July! Just curious if anyone else has done the program...

Actually the NLN's and NCLEX are two separate tests. The NCLEX is the national licensure exam. There are two NLN Mobility tests called ACE exams. ACE I is intended for those LPN's who are entering an ADN program. The ACE II exams are for those RN's or LPN's entering a BSN program. Each college determines who (if any) has to take these exams as well as the passing scores they will accept. OU does require all LPN's take the NLN ACE II exams regardless of whether their LPN school was NLN accredited or not.
I really think that the NLN's were a little easier than the NCLEX but it was sometime ago that I actually took the NCLEX so maybe not.
I will keep you all posted...I am still waiting....

i did the rn to bsn from ou last year, there was an lpn in the class and she did well, completed and i think passed her boards.
I had wondered if the LPN-BSN and RN-BSN programs were held together because they take the same length of time. Did you think it was a hard program? Most of it is online isn't it? With classes only on Saturdays? I'm still trying to decide whether to do a LPN-BSN program which would require me to work a year before starting or doing LPN-RN which would increase my pay rate a whole year sooner.

The NLN exams have nothing to do with accredidation..... they are advance placement exams that are your ticket to 30 cr. hrs of credit towards your BSN.

Not quite sure I understand.. Does that mean if I take the NLN tests and pass then does it waive some of the gen ed courses or what? What exactly does "advanced standing" mean and you get 30 credit hours of what? Maybe I'm just super slow today...
