Practical Nurse to Registered Nurse Program

(Hybrid-Online & 5 campus based locations: BTech, OTech, DTech, WSU-Davis and WSU-Ogden)

Intended for licensed practical nurses currently working and living in Utah. Those having successfully graduated from an accredited Practical Nursing program and are eligible for licensure, our Practical to Registered Nursing Program allows you to earn an Associate of Applied Science (68 credit hours) or Associate of Science (86 credit hours) and prepare for entry-level, clinical practice as a registered nurse. The program offers 3 application cycles a year (summer, fall & spring). Once admitted the program can be finished in 8 months (2 semesters).

Note: This program is for Utah residents only.

Admission

The Annie Taylor Dee School of Nursing’s hybrid-online PN to RN (AS/AAS) program offers 3 application cycles a year (summer, fall & spring). There are very few if any positions available for each application cycle. The program only accepts applications to fill "OPEN" positions that "Become Available". Applicants who want to maximize their selection opportunity can rank from 1 to 4 in the additional campus locations (BTech, DTech, Davis Campus, Ogden Campus all campus based are the 4 available for summer 2025. No OTech campus available for summers admissions). This is strongly encouraged.

Important Application Information

DO NOT APPLY TO THIS PROGRAM unless you live and work in Utah or plan to be living in Utah prior to the program starting. This program cannot be completed at a distance from any other state.

Notifications for the Summer 2025 application cycle will take place in March 2025 (March 3 through March 28, 2025). Please check the email(s) you provided in your application beginning March 3 through the end of the month. Please look in your in-box, spam/junk folders. Notification will come via email from adn@weber.edu Please note that if you are accepted into the nursing program, you must be admitted to Weber State University and have a W# and WSU Wildcat email address before you can confirm your placement. If you do not have a W# or WSU Wildcat email address by the time acceptance letters go out, you will be unable to submit your program acceptance confirmation, and you will have last priority for choice of clinicals, labs, and course placement. If you were not admitted please read the directions in the email you received about application review and how that will be handled.

Please note: The the number of positions available vary with no guarantee of how many positions will be available. Applicants should rank other campus locations on the application to maximize selection opportunity. For example this past year we have averaged approximately 25 applicants per cycle for the Hybrid-Online Program (& additional campus sites). Hybrid-Online positions are very limited now and potential applicants should plan accordingly and rank the additional campus locations as well. For the summer 2025 application cycle the additional four campus locations are: WSU-BTech, WSU-DTech, WSU-Davis Campus and WSU-Ogden Campus. NO WSU-OTech campus available for summer 2025 admissions cycle.
