Information for Advanced Placement LPN to RN Students
Upon receiving an acceptance letter, a student should contact the Division of Nursing at 617-322-3579. Every student completes the fee-based HESI Fundamentals of Nursing examination, which is offered twice a semester. A student will need to earn a minimum score of 780 on the HESI exam to receive nine credits for NUR 1015. There will be one opportunity for a re-test. Those students who do not achieve a minimum score of 780 on the HESI examination are ineligible for advanced placement status; these students then enroll in NUR 1015 to continue the program.
Upon successful completion of the Fundamentals of Nursing HESI exam, the student is eligible to complete the fee-based Maternity/Pediatric HESI exam. A student will have to earn a minimum score of 780 to receive eight credits for NUR 2000. There is one re-test opportunity only. In the event that the student does not achieve a minimum score of 780, the student is required to enroll in NUR 1025.
Upon successful completion of the Maternity/Pediatric HESI exam, the student is eligible to enroll in NUR 1035 on a space available basis.
