Hello,
Looking for information. I'm an LVN by challenge method. Just finished all prerequisites for RN programs. I have 14 years of bedside nursing experience and have worked very hard to complete these prerequisites. Has anyone who challenged LVN done an LVN to RN Option?

It's a way to earn an LVN license through (mostly) experience vs classroom learning. California has a this as a method, and it's "Method 3" of the 5 ways the state offers as a means to earning the license. The applicant has to take a pharmacology course that meets specific requirements but other than that, it's mostly experience-based. It's one of the 2 challenge methods but the other way is through military experience and therefore is not applicable to non-military applicants.
