Hi, I've been a LVN for 14 years. I took the LVN to RN Bridge program. When I was in my last semester, beginning my last nine weeks of the program, I got hurt on my job. The injury, the multiple surgeries, left me out of work for six years. For me to go back to the program, I would have to take everything all over again, which I really don't want to. Right now the LVN to BSN program online is too expensive for me to afford. Has anyone received their RN license by using the 30 unit option? Or do you have any information on what the requirements are? I plan to stay in California; eventually I will get my BSN, but now it's not an option! I appreciate all replies!

Hi, I worked for the LA Sheriff Department. I've been a LVN for 13 years. I currently make $25.00 a hour. I've been with the department now for 2 1/2 years. Now that's working on the dayshift. I don't know what's the starting salary for you. Check it out!
