Northwestern Division of Nursing Launching Flexible Hybrid LPN-to-BSN Track in Spring 2027, Applications to Open Summer 2026

The Charles Morton Share Trust Division of Nursing at Northwestern Oklahoma State University will soon launch a new hybrid LPN-to-BSN track.

This program is designed to provide a flexible and efficient pathway for Licensed Practical Nurses seeking to advance their education and career.

Starting in Spring 2027, this innovative program will blend online coursework, residency-style laboratory sessions, and in-person clinical experiences to accommodate working professionals and busy students.

The division sought feedback from stakeholders to determine any barriers, and those barriers have been addressed. Students will have more flexibility as well as frequent in-person contact with faculty members to ensure success.

The LPN-to-BSN hybrid track will allow students to complete their degree in just four semesters, combining the convenience of online learning with hands-on clinical training essential for nursing practice. The residency-style laboratories are structured to enhance practical skills, while in-person clinicals ensure real-world experience in healthcare settings.

Applications for the program will open in Summer 2026, giving prospective students ample time to prepare and apply. The new track exemplifies Northwestern’s commitment to accessible, high-quality nursing education tailored to the evolving needs of healthcare professionals.

For more information about Northwestern’s LPN-to-BSN hybrid track and the application process, please visit www.www.nwosu.edu/school-of-professional-studies/nursing/bachelor-of-science-in-nursing or contact the Northwestern Division of Nursing by email at nursing@nwosu.edu.
