Returning to school: The challenges of the licensed practical nurse-to-registered nurse transition student
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) play a vital role in the provision of health care but have limited career mobility. Completing the LPN-to-RN transition option provides expanded opportunities and meets the need for increased registered nurses (RN). Returning to school presents many challenges, and this study reports the issues faced by students at a mid-Atlantic community college. Identifying challenges faced by this student population can increase the faculty understanding of their unique educational needs.
