NO!! You do not have to be a MA before a LPN! The reason they told you this was to get more $$$ which is their main goal at Concorde. The only reason I could see them saying this too you is b/c you didn't test high enough or they want to get as much $$$ from you as possible. There are sooo many LPN programs in CA I would look around

Concorde is not Regionally accredited so you wont be able to transfer it to another college/university if you have a BS then look into a accelerated BSN program that is hands down your best bet
