Nursing: Transition Course Pathway for LPNs and Certified EMT-Ps

SUNY Broome Nursing’s Transition Pathway allows eligible Licensed Practical Nurses and Certified Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedics (EMT-Ps) to earn an AAS in Nursing with fewer nursing courses. Recognizing prior learning and experiences of LPNs and Certified EMT-Ps, this Six-credit course focuses on the RN scope of practice and emphasizes the nursing process in the development of problem-solving and critical thinking skills needed by RNs in today’s healthcare environments. The Nursing Program has required educational components in all of the following areas: classroom, clinical placement, and the nursing skills lab. Each student must meet the mathematics proficiency requirements at selected intervals during the program.
