Nondegree
The Mt. San Antonio College LVN 30 Unit Non-Degree Option is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing. This option or track is designed to prepare students to give direct nursing care to clients in various practice settings. This track consists of coursework in nursing, science, general education, and clinical nursing practice at local hospitals and health agencies. Completers of this track are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN examination leading to licensure as a Registered Nurse and if successful may be licensed in the state of California with a non-degree license. Nursing Applications are accepted twice a year for the Fall and Spring semesters via an on-line application process. Enrollment in the Mt San Antonio College LVN 30-unit non-degree option to Registered Nursing Program is open to persons regardless of sex, age, marital status, disability, ethnic group, religion, or national origin.
The California Board of Registered Nursing (section 1429) Rules and Regulations allows completion of this option and entitles the student to apply for examination for licensure as a Registered Nurse in the State of California. This option is specifically designed for California licensees. Other states do not have this provision in their laws; therefore, endorsement for licensure may not be granted.
The student who elects to complete the 30-Unit Option non-degree track is not a graduate of the Associate in Science Degree Nursing Program at Mt. San Antonio College. Individuals who complete this track are not eligible to return to the college at a later date to complete a degree in nursing. LVN applicants must declare their educational goal at the time of application (30-Unit non-degree or Associate Degree). This decision is not subject to change at a later date.
