Any CA LVNs doing a hybrid bridge program out of state?

Updated:   Published

I'm considering an hybrid bridge program in a different state and fly in for the clinical part. Anyone else go that route? CA is so competitive and time consuming. Ugh.

Elleveein, would you share which program have the lvn - RN without prerequisites? I cant seem to find any here in Texas.

Depends on if you have all your pre preqs. If you do it could be as short as 10 months for LVNs.

Here’s another option. Oklahoma BSN you’re able to fly in for clinical.

I checked their website, it says pre reqs is to have a Oklahoma lpn license ?. Did they just change that?

Any updates on the programs. I know some of you were starting out of state programs. How’s it going?

would love to know about any new lvn-BSN or even lvn-RN options. I have been a lvn for 6 years now in California and I have been doing my pre-reqs and almost done with it.  I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

If anyone else knows where there is another hybrid option out of state for us Cali LVNs comment please!! I emailed Hutch community college in Kansas, I’ll be back to give an update with their response.

May I check if you heard back from Hutch or get more info for the hybrid option?
Thanks

There is at least one thread about this program with posts from CA LVN's who attend it. It seems a lot better than the one in FL with the word "international" in its name that one CA LVN warned CA LVN's to watch out for. She said the program has an attitude toward nurses from CA. Look up both threads.

May I ask if you can give  some keywords to search for these two threads. I've been searching for "hutchingson" and "california" but could not find the thread that the California LVN attended Hutchingson.

Thank you.

The real issue is not the LPN license for Oklahoma. If you have LPN/LVN license from any state, you can apply for Oklahoma license by reciprocal or endorsement. It's an extra step, but not a big issue.

Main issue for some states, especially California is that they do not accept online/hybrid program for RN registration. Even after you get the RN license from Oklahoma from the online/hybrid program, California in general will not issue license by endorsement/reciprocal.

I would like to know if someone has done it and get license in California.

Thank you.
