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
The ADN program at UNC is designed to meet the educational requirements for professional nursing licensure in the State of California as mandated by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN).
If you intend to pursue initial licensure in a state other than California upon completion of the ADN program, please be advised:
No Determination Made: UNC has not made a determination whether its ADN curriculum meets the specific educational requirements for licensure in any state or U.S. territory other than California.
Consultation Requirement: Requirements for licensure vary by state and are subject to change. Applicants and students intending to practice outside of California must consult the Board of Nursing (BON) in their intended state of practice to verify that the UNC curriculum meets that state’s specific criteria.
NCLEX-RN and Compact States: While the NCLEX-RN is a national exam, clinical hour requirements and theory content vary. If you are interested in the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC), you should verify how your California-based education aligns with your home state’s residency requirements.
Relocation Warning: Please be advised that a change in your physical location (relocation to another state) while enrolled in the ADN program may impact your ability to meet licensure requirements in that new state. It may also affect your eligibility for federal financial aid.
Resources for Students
