LPN Experience

Applicants must have at least one year of experience as an LPN. We will verify this in the application process with a copy of your nursing license.

We will calculate one year from the start of the program year you’re applying for, or the first day of the fall quarter, which is September 21 for 2026.

Applicants who want to be considered for admission in 2026 must have been licensed on or before September 21, 2025. If you were licensed after this date, you will be invited to apply in 2027.

In addition to unofficial transcripts to verify prerequisites + a copy of your license to verify experience, we will also require additional application documents. Specific information and instructions for what you will be expected to submit will be available here on January 5.

All application information and documents must be submitted via a zero-credit Canvas course that you will complete online. Instructions for accessing the Canvas course will also be provided at the start of the quarter.

Minimum Application Requirements

Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 for Practical Nursing (PN) courses from the applicant's certificate or degree

Minimum of 12 months of experience as an LPN

Documents you will submit in Canvas as part of your application:

  • Copy of LPN license
  • Copies of unofficial transcripts from all colleges/universities where PN and prerequisite credit were earned
  • Resume
  • Video Essay
  • Writing Sample

Please do not email these documents to the program. All application information and materials must be submitted in the Canvas course. Instructions for how to request access can be found at the top of this page.

If you are not ready to apply right now, but want to be considered for future cohorts, please send your contact information to Nursing Program Navigator, Julia, at julia.erickson@edmonds.edu. Thank you for considering Edmonds College!
