Lansing Community College

To align with the Michigan State Board of Nursing’s Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) accreditation requirements, LCC is pursuing specific LPN accreditation. We are preparing for our scheduled accreditation site visit that will occur September 2025.  We are excited for this opportunity and are committed to meeting the standards as put forth by the Michigan State Board of Nursing.  Depending on when we receive accreditation status for the PN portion of LCC’s Career Ladder Nursing program from both ACEN and the State of Michigan Board of Nursing, students entering Fall 2025 may not be able to earn the PN certificate after the completion of the second-level courses. 

Students enrolled by Spring 2025 are unaffected and after successful completion of their second level nursing courses will still be able to earn their PN Certificate of Achievement and pursue the NCLEX-PN exam if they choose.
 
Those who have already taken the NCLEX-PN exam are also unaffected by these changes.
Please know the RN program is unaffected by the changes in the LPN accreditation requirements.

ADVANCED STANDING NURSING TRACK IS PAUSED

*Effectively immediately, the Advanced Standing Nursing track (for Paramedics, LPNs, and Respiratory Therapists) is paused due to declining interest. This track will not be available for at least the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 academic years. If interest in this track increases in the future, the college may offer it again. If you have questions, please contact the Nursing Program Director, Dr. Teri Logghe (logghet@star.lcc.edu  /  517-483-9695).

2nd Degree nursing track new application deadline

*Effectively immediately, the annual application deadline for the 2nd Degree Nursing track is now September 1. This track is for those who already possess a Bachelor's+ degree in any field. The 2-Year track annual application deadline is still March 1st. 

LCC's Nursing program is selective admission. In order to be considered, students must meet admission requirements beyond those required for general admission to the college. There is no wait-list to enter the program; instead, acceptance is based on a point system. Check out the Nursing Advising Guides for the application process and admission requirements. 

Our Career Ladder Nursing Program is your path to becoming a registered nurse. Upon completing your course of study you'll earn an Associate Degree in Applied Science in Nursing and will be eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination. This highly regarded program has been national accredited for more than 45 years and is approved by the Michigan State Board of Nursing.

Lansing Community College's Nursing program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing.
