LVN to RN 30 unit option in California?

Joeyzoom208 · Jan 23, 2016

Hi all!! 4 year veteran LVN in SoCal here. I'm looking to finally get my RN and am looking into the 30 unit option here in L.A. Now, I already know that I can not take this outside California unless I get an actual degreed RN .. but what about getting an RN job here

IN Cali ?? Anyone go through this program ? Anyone KNOW anything about job prospects ? I have ALL pre-requisites (and then some, over 100 college credits) done for a traditional LVN to BSN or RN, but some of them were completed over 5 years ago -- some schools have recency rules. In addition, these courses would count toward the 30 unit options, or so I am told.

I am a very independent learner, so I'm not worried there at all -- I just want to complete an RN as soon as possible. I have an email into the Director of Nursing at UCLA, as many of their postings DO NOT state "must be graduate of accredited RN school", but many do.

ANY insight here would be appreciated. My other options are of course the LVN to ADN, or LVN to BSN .. but with my work schedule that may never be possible (or at a snail's pace!). I'm 34, and really wanted to have my RN 4 years ago! C'est la vie! ;-)

Thank you all in advance for deeper insight into this option here in California !
