I did my LVN at a private vocational school, but I did all my pre-reqs at Community Colleges. I did them before I started LVN school. They were accepted at the vocational school and if I had done them there they would have cost me $1K - not only that, but then they transferred to my current RN bridge progam at the CC that I'm in. I would advise, as the previousl poster did, that for anyone interested in going all the way from LVN to RN to do their pre-reqs at a CC. Often at trade or vocational schools the pre-reqs for LVN differ from the pre-reqs for RN programs. For example: my LVN program accepted a combined 4 unit Anatomy and Physiology. My RN program accepts only Anatomy 4 or 5 units with a lab, and the same for Physio. Why do them more than once? That's just my opinion.

Good luck! It takes perserverance, but you'll get there.

If your goal is to be an RN don't waste your cash or time with a private LVN program. It's hard to get a hospital LVN job, many are phasing them out. Start your prereqs or if you can get a substantial amount of financial aid shoot for one of the new private school RN programs!
Good luck.
