Advanced Placement in Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program*

The Advanced Placement curriculum is designed to prepare qualified licensed practical nurses to become associate degree nurses. Eligibility for this program includes meeting all ADN admission requirements, holding a current South Carolina license in practical nursing, and completing NUR 201 (Transition Nursing) with a grade of "C" or better.

     Upon meeting all requirements, students will be placed into the curriculum as second-year ADN students. A student who begins as a senior must complete the ADN program within the required three consecutive semesters. 

     Students must also meet any general education course requirements for the ADN program that they have not completed in their Practical Nursing program.

     LPNs that graduate from Piedmont Technical College prior to Fall 2007, or remain out of school for more than one year after graduation, or graduates of other practical nurse programs must successfully complete NUR 201 with a grade of "C" or better.
