The Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) to Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Upgrade Program at Modesto Junior College prepares students to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN), leading to licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN). The program is approved by the State of California.

The LVN to ADN Upgrade Program begins in the fall and spring semesters of each year. It is a two-semester program. Although most classes are scheduled during the day, clinical experiences may include both morning and evening hours and weekends. During the five-week preceptorship program in NURSE 267, students will be expected to be in the clinical area on a full-time basis. Students must be flexible and prepared to accept these assignments.

Program expenses vary for each individual. The estimated cost of the LVN to ADN Upgrade Program is $1,600 per semester, which includes enrollment fees, health clearance, lab kit, uniforms, books, and licensure examination.
