Program Description
LLU School of Nursing is proud to have multiple and growing partnerships with Associate Degree in Nursing (AND) College Programs. These partnerships offer nursing students a faster pathway to complete a B.S. in Nursing Degree. The program is 100% online and structured to accommodate students full- or part-time. Students will take courses online during the Summer until they graduate with their AND and pass NCLEX, at which time they will continue with the RN to BS regular track.
Current colleges we are partnering with - Mount San Jacinto College and Victor Valley College
Students will need to maintain their academic standing for the ADN program to continue to qualify for LLUSN RN to BS Concurrent Enrollment. If a student fails to maintain academic standing and withdraws from their ADN program, they will be automatically withdrawn from LLUSN.
