You can always try west coast university. I was lucky and got into LAPC and LAVC on the first attempt. Also COC does a portion of their admits based off your GPA and TEAS score. Best of luck to you!

You may do better in your California state board. I know I had someone in my nursing program (in PA) - don't know why tho just an FYI.

Oh and the programs here are tough to get into too. The TEAS test seems to be the deciding factor, or HESI/ATT entrance exams. GL

It is because nursing programs in the greater Los Angeles area (and the entire state of CA) tend to be impacted with far more applicants than available slots. Everyone and their mama wants to be a nurse in southern CA.
