Athabasca Post LPN to RN - How long did it take you?

Updated:   Published

Hello, I have just enrolled in the Post LPN to RN degree at AU. I am in the process of having my prior post-secondary credits transferred. Yay!

This goes out to anyone who has taken the program, known someone who has taken the program or currently enrolled:

How long from start of Cluster A to graduation did it take to complete?

thanks!

My question to anyone who has finished the AU nursing program: how well accepted is the program? I'm thinking nationally and internationally.

I'm hoping to get my RN through AU and potentially go to NY!

I did stats at athabasca.. I hated every minute of it but if you stay focused you will make it through. The tutor i had was great about answering questions . The minute I was done i dumped all that info out of my brain lol

Hi

im currently a student at algonquin college in my first year. I won't be finding until next August since my program is running from jan-aug. I am considering of doing the program of AU and was wondering if u could share your experience more to me. I was reading this thread and it has made me realize that I may not finish as fast as I thought I would be because of no clinical placements available? Was this true in your situation? And does that mean that after I finish the program I must pay to get licensed in Alberta, and then after if I want to work in Ontario, get anotherlicensed for Ontario?

Thank you

Cat

Hey! I'm looking at starting cluster a in January. Any advice? Do you like it? I don't like math class and have an opportunity to take the stats class at my local college and transfer credit. What is your input on the program? Much appreciated thanks!

Me too I'm interested in the program. Has anyone gotten any transfer credit from courses taken in the practical nursing program eg English & Psychology?

Also how long did the evaluation take

All PN courses that you took go to your 30 credits that they count toward the 120 for a bachelors for the advance standing.

Any university courses you may take extra would count as electives though
