Jul 13, 2014. I have consecutively applied to the Butte College Nursing Program for the last 4 semesters (2 years!). When I first applied, I was aware of the waiting list but I was told that the 4th time applying. By Evan Tuchinsky. Amid a nationwide shortage of nurses, Butte College's nursing program is forced to slash enrollment due to funding cuts. Published on April 5, 2012 as Health news in the Health section of the Chico News & Review. How Long Are RN to BSN Programs? The general requirement is 120 credit hours, including undergraduate hours already completed during the Associate's degree program.
Welcome to nursing at Butte College. Our programs offer three steps on the career ladder for nursing: Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), Licensed Vocational Nurse to Associate Degree Registered Nurse (LVN-RN), and Associate Degree Registered Nurse (RN). Each of our programs is approved by the State of California Department of Consumer Affairs and prepares students for the examination required in California for licensure as an LVN or an ADN (RN).
