RN 30 unit option

Hello,

I am currently an LVN in California and have been planning to go back to get my RN. I have been curious about the RN 30 unit option. I understand that you would only be able to use your license in California and it would be on your license online but from what I understand is you can still get your AA or bachelors. So why is it so bad? Also I am curious if anyone has taken this course towards their RN and if they had regretted it or if they are working already with the 30 unit.

Specializes in LVN.

Thank you, this great information

Hi.  
Hope all is well @nursedt. I have some questions if you don't mind me asking.  I went to a really horrible school to obtain my RN completed the whole program including clinicals but they won't provide me with my degree due to not passing their exit exam.  I challenged LVN board and passed.  I would like to challenge RN 30 unit option now that I have my license.  Is this possible because at this point it's my only option to receive my RN license.  Thank you in advance

Hey!  You would still need to attend a year program to be able to sit for the NCLEX-RN.  You might as well do an ADN program.  I did the 30 unit option "back in the day" and now have progressed to BSN, MSN, FNP, DNP.

I attended on and completed it but just didn't get my diploma.

Yeah, but there are programs that will let you do their RN-BSN out there, even without a diploma.  That's why they are RN **** to BSN LOL
