which satisfies the academic requirements necessary for a graduate’s
eligibility to write the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX)
for licensure as a registered nurse. Because this LPN-RN curriculum
in Sioux Falls is a one-year program designed to build on the firm foundation
of nursing skills mastered by the licensed practical nurse (LPN), the

one academic year, the program content is designed to develop leadership
and management of care skills needed by the registered nurse (RN) in
the current healthcare practice setting.
