How many hours can students work as a RN in the last few semesters while completing the LCU requirements?Once completed with Covenant School of Nursing you can obtain employment and pass your state board exam. Within 2-3 months you begin the seamless transition to BSN at LCU. At this point most students work full time and complete their courses as a full time student. These are hybrid courses, which means that you will have a half a day in class lecture one day a week and the rest of your class will be in online format.
