Please note that not allowing students to take courses in CA does NOT mean that one cannot be licensed in CA upon completion of the program and successful completion of the NCLEX-RN.

Check out the LPN-BSN Track Summary document - course / clinical logistics start about pg 5 https://www.indstate.edu/health/lpn-bsn-track-summary-document

You might look at the information shown at KAT Admission Exam | College of Health and Human Services

A map of current states in which the LPN-BSN Track is available for enrollment is located at States that Recognize the LPN-BSN Track | College of Health and Human Services

If you complete the inquiry form at Indiana State University: Nursing Inquiry , you'll receive current information about the track.

The document at LPN-BSN Track Summary Document | College of Health and Human Services will explain must about the track and the courses.

The quoted information above from ISU website means that students cannot take the programs in California. It does not mean that licensed RNs cannot obtain licensure by endorsement in California or any other states shown on the linked map

Required pre-requisites are listed in the document at http://www.indstate.edu/health/sites/health.indstate.edu/files/bnc-lpn-bs-program-summary.pdf

You are correct. It would be like anyone from any program gaining licensure by endorsement from another state.

The map on the ISU website indicates states which allow / don't allow students IN those states to complete the LPN-BS Track in those states...it does NOT refer to whether those states accept nurses with degrees from ISU to be licensed in those states. Said map located at http://www.indstate.edu/health/sites/health.indstate.edu/files/bnc-states-that-recognize-isu-lpn-bs.pdf Per the web at LPN-BS track - BS | College of Health and Human Services Successful completion of the program requirements makes you eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN through the Indiana Board of Nursing. The NCLEX-RN may be taken anywhere in the country and if successfully passed, will result in an Indiana Registered Nursing License. Graduates of the program can then proceed to request an endorsed license in the state in which they reside. Please contact your state licensing authority to assure that, upon completion of the Indiana State University LPN/LVN to BS track of the baccalaureate nursing program, you are qualified to obtain a license or other form of certification.

The comment that you would not be eligible for licensing in a state if the LPN-BS Track is not available in that state is not correct. Please do verify ..contact info https://www.ncsbn.org/index.htm

It is true that the LPN-BS track is not available for residents of the states shown in yellow on the map at http://www.indstate.edu/health/sites/health.indstate.edu/files/bnc-states-that-recognize-isu-lpn-bs.pdf to complete in those states. That does not mean that those states would not accept a valid RN license from an individual who completed the LPN-BS track. Per the website at LPN-BS track - BS | College of Health and Human Services - contact your state licensing authority (contact information available at https://www.ncsbn.org/) to assure that, upon completion of the Indiana State University LPN/LVN to BS track of the baccalaureate nursing program, you are qualified to obtain a license or other form of certification.
