Required number of hours for RN program

Hey guys,

These hours my school sent to CA Board in the BREAKDOWN form of the Application. But they were not enough: ... the nurse program you completed... does not meet the requirements for licensure as a Registered Nurse in California.

********************************* THEORY Hours *** PRACTICE Hours

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 157 *** 86

MICROBIOLOGY 36 *** 18

MEDICAL NURSING 182 *** 196

SURGICAL NURSING 113 *** 130

OBSTETRIC NURSING 41 *** 40

PEDIATRIC NURSING 111 *** 132

PSYCHIATRIC NURSING 30 *** 24

Please share the hours you already have OR plan to have after graduation.

Many thanks.

I.e. how to meets California's educational requirements?

Hi Mooshka,

Don't know if this will help, but I know for my LVN program we were required to do over 900 hours alone (not sure of the course break down). I don't know the exact amount of hours that I'm doing for my RN program, but I would guess (this is a GUESS only) that it must be more than the LVN program.

Good luck. :specs:

This same question was posted on the International Forum, we ask that you only post on one thread with the same question.

Anything having to do with licensure for the foreign RN should go to the International Forum as per the sticky on the top of the CA forum. There are different requirements as well for you.

The hours that are posted here are not the same as the RN programs here, quite similar to the practical nurse and that is why CA responded that way.
