Fresno City College : LVN to RN Articulation Program
This is the course that meets California for LVN/LPN licensure:
Fresno Adult - Health Occupations
As you will see LVN training is only 53 weeks not two years as you inacurately stated.

I am going to include two links that will enlighten you on the requirements in California. A BSN is an option for nursing and is a highre degree of education, but it is not a requirement to become an RN. Please look at the links and then come back, and tell me that the Nursing program that is highly regarded in this area is suspect or questionable. Requirements may be different in different areas, but the OP is from California, and I was giving him information based on California requirements. You must have not looked at the link that I included earlier, or you would have seen what I am saying is not only factual, but is the requirements in the state of California. So telling me I am wrong is counterproductive and not based in fact.This is the information for Fresno City College RN Program;

I spoke with my niece the recruiter today and apparently they have lowered the requirements and you can now get an RN with an associates degree, at least in some colleges. There is still a disparity of income between someone with an AS compared to the BSN and there is more opportunity with the BSN, but it is possible to get the RN with only a AS. So I stand corrected. According to my niece preference is still given to those who have the BSN.
