Updated:   Published

Specializes in Ambulatory Care and Nursing Education.

Hello, 

My name is Tabitha Quillen. I am a doctoral student at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Georgia. I am conducting a research study focusing on academic progression for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) (IRB#23-0027) , specifically LPNs desiring to become RNs.

I am interested in hearing from LPNs who:

  • are 18 years of age or older,
  • are licensed as an LPN in the United States, and
  • are not currently enrolled in a degree program that would make the individual eligible for licensure as an RN.
  • consent to participate in this study.

If you do not meet the criteria listed above, please feel free to forward this email to your colleagues who could participate in the study. If you do meet these criteria and are interested in participating in this research study, please take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete a screening survey. You can click here to access the screening survey (to be added) or copy and paste the URL listed below into your web browser. Directions for completing the screening survey are included in the survey. 

Participation in the study is voluntary.  If you are selected to participate in the research and decide to participate, informed consent will be obtained; you will be interviewed and asked to complete an electronic demographic survey. The interview and survey will collect information about you and your thoughts about pursuing a degree that would make you eligible for licensure as an RN. Participation in the research study would require approximately 1 hour of your time and will be based on your availability. 

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of West Georgia has granted permission for this study to be conducted (IRB#23-0027). If you have any questions about the survey or study, please contact me at 423-330-7781 or via email at [email protected]. You can also contact my dissertation chair with questions: Dr. Cynthia Brown ([email protected]).
