Introducing a new LVN-ADN program!

The program is an LVN to RN/ADN Distance Education Program via Interactive TV (ITV) through Bakersfield College and Cerro Coso Community College in collaboration with Ridgecrest Regional Hospital. Those interested must currently hold an LVN license and have completed all prerequisites prior to the start of the nursing courses. The start date for the classes will be Fall 2006. The course will be complete at the end of the Spring Semester 2007.

LEARN MORE...

NOTE: If a student is taking a prerequisite LVN class during the Spring 2006 semester, an unofficial transcript showing the prerequisite/s for that semester will suffice. However, if the applicant is chosen to become a Student Vocational Nurse, a formal, offical college transcript will be required before formal admission into the VN Program is granted.
