A new agreement between the Langston University School of Nursing and Health Professions and Redlands Community College will allow graduates of Redlands’ nursing program to more easily obtain a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) from Langston University. The agreement was formally signed Friday on the LU Langston campus.
According to the agreement, students who graduate from Redlands Community College with an associate degree in nursing will be able to transfer all prerequisite courses in which they earned a grade of “C” or higher to Langston University. Additionally, they will be given advanced placement credit for up to 30 hours for classes such as fundamentals of nursing practice, childbearing family nursing and psychosocial nursing. These benefits will allow students to complete their BSN degrees more quickly and at an affordable price.
The agreement was first signed on Dec. 6 and was effective immediately, but the April 19 signing was a more formal event to commemorate the new partnership, which will benefit both Oklahoma nursing students and the nursing profession as a whole.
