How to Take an LPN to RN Program in North Carolina

Employer references, grades in previous training and volunteer experience all play a part in an application to an LPN to RN program in North Carolina. During the program, classes build upon previous LPN education and focus on patient care, nurse management and big-picture planning processes, while also including some general studies in the liberal arts and sciences. And the final result is that students are well-prepared to upgrade their license by taking the NCLEX-RN.

Administered by Pearson Vue at a cost of $200, the North Carolina Board of Nursing also requires a $70 application fee and a criminal background check before licensure is received. Once the test has been passed, as is the case for about 85 percent of graduates of a North Carolina LPN to RN course of study, one is ready to move from a Licensed Practical Nurse and become a Registered Nurse—to begin supervising their former peers and earning substantially more money.
