Hybrid LVN to RN schools for California Nurses!

Updated:   Published

Hello All!

This is a long stretch to ask, but does anybody know of OTHER states (besides California) who accepts Cali LVN students to do a hybrid RN program? I've heard of a school in Florida called ICHS, but I am looking for other options as well. I am willing to fly out for clinicals. TIA!

What’s the competition like in terms of GPA and scores for this program?

I don’t want the price tag and stress of an ABSN. I’m also from California and was wondering if an LVN license I got from UNITEK would be accepted for Hutch.

I graduated a few years ago so things may have changed. You will have to go approx 6-7 times for clinicals. Clinicals are done in block days, meaning you can get several done in one trip. It's approx 2-3 times of travel each semester. I went to school with several people that stayed for an extended period of time and got the entire semester's clinicals done in  a few weeks. I couldn't do that and had to travel a few times. I also was in class during Covid so some of our clinicals had to be changed to strictly online. 

If your able to and your schedule allows you to travel for the program it is very much worth it. The program is great and I can't recommend it highly enough, but I understand it's not for everyone.

For HCC, you have to have all science pre-requisites to include speech, English composition, sociology, psychology, math (algebra or higher) IV certification and pathophysiology, completed before applying. You have to have a minimum of about 2.75 GPA in pre-requisites. You have to take the TEAS exam, which 58.9 (somewhere around here in the 58 percentiles to pass. They also have a recency requirement in perquisites. I believe 7 years recency.

I have officially enrolled in ICHS out in Boynton Beach Florida and I am from California.  I start Pharmacology in October while I am finishing up my MBA.  I can't stop my MBA now because I am in my last class before capstone.  I will be done with my MBA in December and by the time the first course with clinicals start I will be OK.  Anybody going to ICHS that is from California.
