School of Nursing - CSU, Chico
LVN 30-unit Option
LVNs who select this option are admitted into Semester II as transfer students on a space available basis. Progression in clinical courses is dependent on space available. The 30-unit option provides the minimal preparation for RN licensure as designated in Section 1435.5 of Laws Relating to Nursing Education Licensure-Practice in the State of California.
The LVN who selects this option will not be a graduate of the nursing program and will take the licensure examination as a non-graduate. Other states may not grant reciprocity for this type of RN licensure.
