I completed Casa Loma's LVN program back in 2005, when the tuition was $19,995.

Personally, I would pursue the program with the cheapest tuition because, in the long run, you're going to end up with the same LVN license as every other person in the nursing workforce. Future workplaces generally do not care where you attended school, especially in So. Cal. Good luck to you!

I would make this question my deciding factor.."What's your school's passing rate at the NCLEX?" I felt horrible when I couldn't even get an application for the VN program at a local community college due to scores on accuplacer. I hadn't planned on taking a 5 hour test when I went to gather info. Later found a private tech school at twice the price and passed the entrance exam. Bonus for me was not having to do pre-req's to get started and turns out their pass rate was 93%. One year later that community college lost their nursing program due to fail rate.

i graduated from acc back in 2005. really great school with really great teachers. they are kind of strict with grades, dress codes, attend... overall, i think it was a great school and they really prepared me well for the real world.
