<p>Twenty-six students recently began their first year of study at King&#8217;s College as part of the 1-2-1 Dual Degrees in Nursing Partnership in conjunction with Luzerne County Community College (LCCC).</p><p>The 1-2-1 Dual Degrees in Nursing Partnership is based on students doing course work on both King&#8217;s and LCCC campuses. It allows students to receive two degrees, an associate of science and a bachelor&#8217;s of science in nursing, in four years.</p><p>Students in the 1-2-1 Dual Degrees in Nursing Partnership will spend their first and fourth years at King&#8217;s completing the core and upper level nursing requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree; the middle two years will be primarily devoted to nursing studies at LCCC, including labs and clinicals, with some additional core classes at King&#8217;s.</p><p>At the end of the third year, students will take the National Council Licensure Examination for registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). During the final year, students can practice as an RN while completing the RN to BS in Nursing program and any outstanding core courses at King&#8217;s.</p><style>
