30-Unit LVN to RN
Program overview
Applicants interested in 30 unit option must make appointment with Director of Nursing prior to application. Review Program Information for program details, application, department and health careers counselor contact information.
The 30-unit option is unique to California and some states will not issue a license to an individual who was originally licensed in California under the 30 unit Option regulations. Students completing the 30 unit option are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam but do so as non-degree candidates. Students selecting the “30 Unit Option” are not considered graduates of Lemoore College as per the requirements of Lemoore College and the Board of Registered Nursing CCR 1429. Once the student has completed the 30 unit option and received an RN license from the BRN, the BRN cannot change the status to that of a graduate even if the student goes on to acquire a degree in nursing at a later date. 30 unit option students are subject to the same educational standards as the basic RN students. The 30-unit option LVN tract is available on a space- available basis.
