Typically the school will give a number of credits based on your LPN license. One community college I know of gives 20 credits toward a degree. The rest depends on whether you completed any college level coursework. The critical sciences would include the following.
- Human anatomy and physiology I
- Human anatomy and physiology II
- Microbiology
- Inorganic chemistry
- Organic and biochemistry
