CNA to LVN
The “equivalency method”, also known as the "experience method", as outlined by the BVNPT, (California
State Bureau of
Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians), permits licensed
Certified Nursing Assistants who
have had extensive bedside nursing care experience, plus a limited
amount of formal education, to demonstrate that they have acquired
sufficient basic nursing knowledge and skills to be eligible for the
NCLEX-PN
licensure examination.
Our focus is in the Medical field. CPC however, is not an LVN school. We provide certified nursing assistants with the required 54-hour pharmacology class for those who wish to utilize their experience in accordance with the BVNPT Rules and Regulations. The 54-hour pharmacology class is only one requirement set forth by the BVNPT. The following link goes directly to the the BVNPT site. You may read all of the requirements by clicking on this link:
CPC offers a 54-hour Pharmacology course which will satisfy one requirement. It will also qualify graduates to work as Pharmacy Assistants if they desire. In addition, the NCLEX-PN Review course offered by California Preparatory College will prepare qualified candidates to take the California State Licensing Exam.
