Check if they are WASC accredited, if not, then no your credits will not be transferrable to another school. UNLESS that school is another vocational school like Gurnick. Then maybe. But def. check to see if Gurnick is WASC accredited, and check with the NP school of your choice to see if they will accept credits from Gurnick.

I checked the CCNE website and it looks like they're pending approval for their accreditation which will allow transfer of classes/credits. Hopefully they do get approved!

Hi!

I heard Gurnick academy lies to their prospective students promising them entrance into their LVN to RN program if the students complete the pre-reqs at their school. KEEP IN MIND, GURNICK TRANSCRIPTS WILL NOT TRANSFER TO ANY COMMUNITY OR STATE COLLEGE FOR THE REGISTERED NURSING PROGRAM!! If you don't get admission into their LVN to RN bridge, after wasting all that money on doing the prereqs at their school, you CANNOT transfer those credits to another school.

I looked into it, and I have friends that were promised admission into their program, only to find out after spending close to $10k on pre reqs, that they will not be in their LVN to RN program even after passing the TEAS test and scoring really high. My opinon, and something I just recently learned, The International College of Health Science. This school is based in Florida. It is a hybrid/online learning base. $35k, you can get your RN license and have it endorsed in California or whatever state you live in. No waiting list, no waiting to see if you got accepted, no lottery, no interview, no being put on the back burner till someone drops out. And ICHS is 15 months, and you're done! Don't waste your money trying to be an RN in California, just do your research about this LVN to RN bridge program, and make your decision. My friend told me about this program because I was stressing out over the stupid TEAS test, and possibly being put on a waiting list if I don't get into SJVC LVN to RN bridge. She is in the program and is doing good. Due to COVID, she is not expected to travel to Florida for clinical. She just gets her clinical signed off at her job, because she works with RN's already. If there was no COVID, you would need to travel to Florida 2 times per semester for one week for clinical rotation. This school is based in Boynton, Florida, and is fully accredited. Don't waste your time and money anywhere else! Get that RN license, and move on with your life. I hate TEAS, I feel like its the school's way to make extra money off us!

This school has over 1400 students that are enrolled in the LVN to RN ASN program.

I wish I had known about this sooner, like last year, I would have been an RN by now.
