Welcome to the Mission College LVN to RN Program

The Associate Degree Nursing (LVN-RN) Program admits a new class every year into the Role Transition Classes in summer. The program consists of two more semesters. Classroom instruction is offered concurrently with clinical experience. The curriculum has been organized under the standards mandated by the State of California Board of Registered Nursing.

The LVN to RN Nursing Program curriculum is designed to meet all California Board of Registered Nursing BRN) requirements and to prepare students through a progressive and systematic approach to achieve the program outcomes. The program outcomes prepare the students to meet competencies required for entry level into nursing practice by maintaining quality and consistency of instruction.

Employment opportunities following the acquisition of the license include many different fields of nursing, such as hospitals, doctors’ offices, home nursing, and others.

• prepared to successfully pass the NCLEX-RN licensing examination
