For Applicants and Students Regarding Nursing Licensure
United Nursing College (UNC) provides the following information to applicants and students regarding the professional licensure requirements for our nursing programs.
Program Designations
Associate’s Degree in Nursing (ADN): This is a pre-licensure program. Successful completion of this program is intended to qualify students to sit for the NCLEX-RN® examination and seek licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN) in the State of California.
Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN): This is a post-licensure program designed for individuals who already hold an active, unencumbered license as a Registered Nurse. This program does not lead to initial RN licensure.
Disclosure for Out-of-State Practice
Upon notification of the student’s relocation out of state, the institution will review whether the RN to BSN program is approved by the Board of Registered Nursing in that state. If a Board of Registered Nursing outside of the state of California does not approve the program in the student’s new state of residence, the institution will provide direct written notice to the student within fourteen (14) calendar days of making that determination. This notification will advise the student that completion of the program is not possible.
