Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) represent ethnic diversity, gender diversity, and generational diversity within a marginalized workforce. Their advancement to the baccalaureate nursing degree (BSN) may enhance delivery of culturally relevant patient care and reduce disparity in health care. Based on Knowles Andragogy in Practice model, we created a self-paced, individualized educational pathway with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion to address their needs. Dotting the I's (idea, implementation, innovation, inclusion, improvement) illustrates track/curriculum development, whereas crossing the T's (time, travel, tuition, transition, technology, touchstones) alleviates student burdens. The elements are interwoven into the LPN-to-BSN transition journey model, as aligned with core and subcore concepts of transitioning. .
执业护士（LPN）在边缘化劳动力中代表了种族多样性、性别多样性和代际多样性。他们获得学士学位护理学位（BSN）可以提高文化相关的患者护理水平，并减少医疗保健中的差距。基于 Knowles 成人教育学实践模型，我们创建了一个自我导向、个性化的教育途径，重点关注多样性、公平性和包容性，以满足他们的需求。点点（想法、实施、创新、包容、改进）说明了课程/课程的发展，而横竖（时间、旅行、学费、过渡、技术、里程碑）减轻了学生的负担。这些元素被编织到 LPN 到 BSN 的过渡旅程模型中，与过渡的核心和子核心概念保持一致。
