Transfer Students & Advanced Placement

An individual may request transfer into Huron School of Nursing from another program if school admission requirements are completed. Nursing courses from accredited colleges, universities or schools of nursing may transfer providing they are of comparable content and completed with a minimum grade of C. Applicants may be requested to provide the school with course syllabi and outlines for previously completed nursing courses.

The transferring student may also be asked
to submit documentation from faculty and
administration of the former school that addresses the applicant’s academic and clinical abilities. Science courses completed more than 10 years, and nursing courses completed more than 5 years before admission, may not transfer and may need to be repeated. Students may be required to take proficiency tests in identified subject areas to assist in evaluating knowledge from previous courses.

Transfer students are required to complete 18 semester hours of nursing courses at Huron School of Nursing to be eligible for graduation.

Advanced Placement for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)

Licensed Practical Nurses can achieve advanced placement without excessive repetitive coursework and testing through the Ohio Nursing Articulation Model (ONAM). Once the LPN candidate has met admission criteria, eligibility to enroll in the ONAM LPN to RN Transition Course at Huron School of Nursing will be granted. The transition course validates prior learning and prepares the student for placement into the RN program.

Students receiving a “C” or better in the transition course and successfully completing N2015 Medical-Surgical Nursing for LPNs will receive credit for Nursing 1000, Nursing 1010, Nursing 1020, Nursing 2010 and Nursing 3010 at Huron School of Nursing.
