The California LVN-to-RN 30 unit option leads to 2 outcomes: a terminal education and a limited RN license.

The 30-unit education is terminal because it does not lead to a degree or diploma, and you simply cannot return to school to take a few classes and earn a degree once you have completed this option. You'll have to start from scratch as if you had never attended school before, and complete an entire 2 year ADN program or 4 year BSN program if you want the degree.

The 30-unit education leads to limited RN licensure because it can never be endorsed to any other state. Other states do not accept the 30-unit program and, therefore, will not allow you to practice registered nursing in their states with this education.

ayyiii! too bad no one has the personal ethics to make sure the applicant knows this when they sign up for this option.

Most LVN-to-BSN programs will lead to unrestricted RN licensure that can be endorsed to other states. Also, you can continue your education and earn a MSN degree if the school has the proper regional and national accreditation.
