I just had a conversation with a representative of the BRN in California. He stated that the LVN to BSN online program through Indiana State University has yet to be approved and they will be reviewing it and making a decision on February 16, 2007. He also confirmed there is no challenging state boards. Keep you posted.
Thanks to all for your replys and valued information. I have an interview with a representative from The College network. It is an online LVN to BSN program just approved in the state of California and accepted by The California State Board of Registered Nurses. Completing this online program will make me eligable to take the RN NCLEX exam and receive liscensure as well as obtain my BSN. This is how I understand it. I will keep you posted on any information I obtain during this meeting.
I have completed half of my third semester of RN school and I am currently an LVN. I would like to challenge the state board exam in California. Has anyone done this? What are the requirements? Are there any problems with doing this if I wish to pursue a BSN? Any advice would be appreciated. Best wishes to all of you out there!
