Historically, registered nurses who have graduated from associate degree or diploma programs and who wish to obtain a baccalaureate degree in nursing have been required to pass challenge examinations to obtain credit for their previous nursing knowledge. A review of this university's policy regarding challenge examinations convinced faculty to establish a transition course and to actively pursue articulation agreements with local community colleges. Through these agreements, RN students would be granted 29 credits and bypass the junior year. This article is written to encourage others to review their policies to facilitate educational mobility for the RN/BS student.
从历史上看，那些从副学士学位或文凭课程毕业且希望获得护理学学士学位的注册护士，一直被要求通过挑战考试，以便为他们之前所学的护理知识获得学分。对该大学有关挑战考试的政策进行审查后，教师们决定开设一门过渡课程，并积极寻求与当地社区学院达成衔接协议。通过这些协议，注册护士学生将获得29个学分，并跳过大三这一年。撰写本文的目的是鼓励其他院校审查其政策，以促进注册护士/护理学学士学生的教育流动。
