This was submitted because the 30 unit option per California State Regulation 1429 must be 30 units or less and it was at 31 units... in addition the State Board of Registered Nursing's approval was for this LVN To RN (30-Unit Option) to include our NUSR 37 Bridge course. The removal of NUSR 36 Pathophysiology and NUSR 21 Pediatrics and inclusion of NURS 37 Bridge course is to ensure we are under the 30 unit and follow the BRN guidelines.
