Indiana State University, in partnership with Ivy Tech Community College-Wabash Valley, offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing completion program for licensed practical or vocational nurses. Applicants must hold a current license to practice as an LPN or LVN, as well as evidence of completion of a two-year practical nursing program from an accredited, post-secondary institution. The program consists of three phases. Students must first complete foundational course work online or on campus at Ivy Tech Community College. This is followed by a series of prerequisite examinations and completion of academic coursework in nursing offered online through Indiana State University. A clinical practicum in the student's home community is also required.
