Registered Nursing Prerequisite COURSES

Pacific College offers prerequisite courses for Registered Nursing programs. The six courses Pacific College requires for admission to its RN Program may also qualify for credit to other schools that accept courses completed at schools accredited by WASC Senior College & University Commission (WSCUC); however, transfer credit is always the decision of the receiving school.

If you are a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), you may use an academic transcript of completed RN prequisite courses to demonstrate up to 30 hours of BVNPT Continuing Education (CE) for license renewal as described by 16 CCR § 2540.2. Continuing Education Courses.
