January 8, 2026
The Registered Nursing program at Edison State prepares students to provide direct care to those with common short- and long-term illnesses. The LPN/ADN Transition is an advanced placement program for licensed practical nurses who want to continue their education to become licensed as registered nurses.
Career opportunities include staff nurse in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, physicians’ offices, home health, long-term care, and health care settings. Students will complete courses in classrooms and laboratories. Area hospitals, community centers, and nursing homes provide clinical training sites. Graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensing Exam for licensure as a registered nurse.
The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing accredits the nursing program at Edison State. Students must complete the Registered Nursing or LPN/ADN application by January 31, 2026, for the fall 2026 semester. Students must meet with an Edison State advisor before applying. Schedule an appointment by calling Student Affairs at 937.778.7850 or emailing.
Edison State’s PTA program allows students to use their motivational, creative, problem-solving, and people skills to help others. Under the direction and supervision of a physical therapist, physical therapist assistants work as a team to provide rehabilitative therapies to various populations, including athletes, children, adults of various ages, and those recovering from an illness or injury. These therapies improve daily independence and quality of life by maximizing balance, strength, alignment, coordination, flexibility, and overall mobility.
The Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education accredits the Edison State PTA program. Students must complete the PTA application by January 31, 2026, by visiting www.edisonohio.edu/pta-application.
The next program-specific application period for Edison State’s Medical Laboratory Technician program will open on March 1, 2026, and close on April 30, 2026. Students can apply for the RN-BSN completion program from February 15 to July 31, 2026.
