at American River College
Sacramento Catalog
The LVN 30-unit option program, which is required by the Board of Registered Nursing (California Code of Regulations §1429), provides the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) the opportunity to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) once the registered nursing course requirements have been met and without meeting the degree requirements for the Associate in Science Degree. This option does not satisfy American River College's Nursing Program requirements nor lead to an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing.
