Progression Policy

Berkshire Community College

Practical Nursing Program

 Progression Policy

Progression through the PN program is dependent upon successful completion of each course. To progress in the nursing program a student must maintain a minimum theory grade of 75%, pass clinical, complete all formalized psychomotor skills successfully, and meet the Course Student Learning Outcomes in all nursing courses. All prerequisite courses must be completed successfully in order to progress to the next nursing course in the sequence, i.e., LPN 142, LPN 145, LPN 152, and LPN 162.  Students must also achieve all End of Program Student Learning Outcomes (EPSLOs) in LPN 162.
