University of Phoenix LPN TO BSN CA applicatns FOR 2012 - Page 4

Thanks

I am looking at UOP for LVN-BSN program. Was wondering how the program is and if any of you have graduated if you have had any problems finding a job with your schooling from UOP in california.

I start in March & will take I think 3 classes before I join my graduating class. I was told I can expect to enter the core nursing classes in August 2014.

I spoke to U of P in California an they said u cannot sit for NCLEX after Lvn to BSN!!!! Is this true??????

Not sure who you spoke to, but if you successfully pass the program and graduate, you should be able to take your NCLEX exam to get your license. They are approved on the California Board of Nursing, so I don't know who you spoke to that would have said that. You do have to be an LVN already to go into their LVN to BSN program though. I think if you are already an Associate degree RN going for your Bachelors thru them, you obviously do not take your NCLEX exam again if you are already a licensed RN. You would be obtaining your BSN degree.
Maybe that's what they were trying to say. But they only offer the LVN to BSN program in 4 States that I'm aware of:California, Colorado, Arizona, and Hawaii. and the only place in California it is offered is in Salida, California.
Hope this helps!

Can you tell me like how the program works?? like what prereqs id have to do and what is the total length of the program??

hello, are you currently enroll still in the lvn to bsn program in modesto(phoenix)? can you give insight of how the program is?

hello, how is the program? can you give me some insight about the program and the 3 classes you had to take are they hard cuz you are only one per wk?

I'm replying to both your posts! I am currently in the lvn to bsn program in Salida, Ca.I really enjoy it so far and have no complaints. It really works well for me since I have a family and a job. The classes you take are basically any prerequisites you would have to take to get into an lvn to BSN or ASN program, but if you haven't taken Any, they offer them all there for you, you would take them before you start your nursing classes. Each course can be anywhere from 5 to about 7 weeks long. Then you move on to the next course. I cannot say enough great things about this school and their staff. Everyone there is so helpful and friendly. I'm glad I made the decision to attend UOP who accepted me, as opposed to a couple other schools that did also. Not sure about the 3 classes you are talking about? It is all different for each person, depending on how many prerequisites you have taken and what can transfer in to their school. I think the classes are very do-able as long as you do your readings and assignments and ask questions from your professor if you need clarification you should be fine. Hope this info. helps you! Take Care.ps..you have to be a Licensed LVN to apply.

How is the program going?
