Does anyone know about the 30 unit option?

I finish LVN school in the Spring and hope to sit the NCLEX exam shortly thereafter. My immediate plan is to continue my education and become a RN.

I understand there are different options in doing so and I am now hearing of this 30 unit option. I am wondering if it is a waste of my time? I have completed my general education requirements prior to starting the LVN program. I have my prerequisite classes through a community college.

With this being said, would it be smart to take the 30 unit option? I do want to eventually get a BSN, however I am not sure if the 30 units would satisfy the college requirements or if it would be just like starting over again.

The 30 units is appealing as it would get me working as a RN before obtaining my degree. However, if it is not going to be a benefit in the long run, I am not certain that I want to spend the time in doing so.

Any opinions or advice? Thanks.
