The student will be registered for the appropriate LPNR-1235 course when these criteria have been met.
NOTES

•  A student is only eligible to apply for readmission into the program for the academic year following withdrawal.
• A student can re-enter the program one time only.
• Completion of this course does not guarantee readmission into the program. There must be an opening in the current cohort for the student to be readmitted.
• Upon successful completion of the reentry course, the student must meet the physical, immunization, background check, CPR, liability insurance, and clinical orientation requirements of the program.
• This reentry course must be completed at least 2 (two) weeks prior to the beginning date of the PN course to be entered.

This pass/no pass course provides the student with an opportunity to demonstrate competence in application of nursing theory and skills attained in successfully completed practical nursing courses (LPNR prefix courses) prior to reentry into the PN program. Prior to demonstrating competence in skills, the students will review and update their knowledge of asepsis, sterile technique, positioning, range of motion exercises, safety measures, documentation, dosage calculation, medication administration principles and techniques, practical nursing intravenous therapy, data collection, the nursing process, and nursing theoretical knowledge associated with previously successfully completed PN courses. The student will have access to videos and the nursing lab to practice the skills individually to refresh their knowledge prior to the class. Competence in application of nursing theory and skills will be demonstrated through 100% accuracy on math exam, Level I score or greater proficiency on required ATI Content Mastery Exams, clinical evaluation, clinical simulations, and return demonstrations.
