Augusta Technical College approved to launch LPN to
RN Program starting Spring 2024

Augusta, GA - July 12, 2023
Augusta Technical College is excited to introduce a new pathway that will help Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) bridge over to Registered Nurses (RN). This new program will be called the LPN to RN Transition Program.

This Associate Degree Program Pathway will offer current active LPN's the ability to complete their Registered Nursing Degree in just one year. The LPN to RN Transition program will begin in January of 2024 for students who have completed the prerequisites necessary and also have a total of 2000 hours of work experience as an LPN.

"This is an exciting addition to the nursing programs at Augusta Technical College as well as the community," stated Dr. Ebony Story, Department Head, ADN and PN. "As a past graduate of the LPN program here at Augusta Technical College, I can tell you first-hand that I wish I did not have to drive an hour away from home to attend a college to transition to an RN. Having this program here will alleviate travel and out-of-state tuition cost for any students looking to transition."

If you have questions or need more information about the program, please contact Dr. Ebony Story at 706-771-4187 or Leslie Dent at 706-771-4185.
