This article describes a special project involving the design, implementation and evaluation of a flexible education track for licensed practical nurses (LPN) within an established nursing program containing an associate degree in nursing (ADN) track and a baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN) track. The LPN track facilitated the achievement of the associate degree or baccalaureate degree through curricular options which decreased the length of time and/or credit load for the LPN. A mechanism also was designed and implemented whereby credit for previous nursing knowledge and skills was awarded. Years 1 through 3 of the project focused on the advanced placement of LPNs into the associate degree program, and years 4 and 5 are an expansion to include the advanced placement of LPNs into the baccalaureate degree program.
本文介绍了一个特殊项目，该项目涉及在一个已有的护理项目中为执业护士（LPN）设计、实施和评估一条灵活的教育路径。该护理项目包含护理学副学士学位（ADN）路径和护理学学士学位（BSN）路径。LPN路径通过课程选择促进了副学士学位或学士学位的获得，这些课程选择减少了LPN所需的时间长度和/或学分负荷。还设计并实施了一种机制，据此授予先前护理知识和技能的学分。该项目的第1年至第3年专注于将LPN提前安置到副学士学位项目中，第4年和第5年则进行扩展，将LPN提前安置到学士学位项目中。
