Question LVN-RN bridge programs in CA

So I've heard that most private colleges and even public (community colleges) here in CA with LVN-RN bridge programs are no longer accepting REPEATS if you've taken prerequisites(?)...this doesn't make sense to me because not all LVNs have taken prerequisite courses at other colleges. My friend told me about it and he's obsessed with researching nursing programs so I usually take his word for it. I had to do prerequisites for RN programs originally, but I didn't get accepted anywhere. I had to repeat a few courses (Anatomy and physio) because I didn't do too well.

I'm ready to pull my hair out. I'm not even done and I'm already stressing out about it. I don't wanna be an LVN for the rest of my life. If this is the case, I'm just gonna go back to a regular university and try to do something else. I'm REALLY hoping my friend is wrong. But any info would be really helpful. I'm currently in LVN school and will be done around Dec/Jan...

I dont know what part of CA you are, but if you are in the LA area they have a school called westcoast college, where can get your AS and RN degree all at the same time. If you already have some preqs. that even better (less money) , but it is not required and the program is 18 months. Try to look them up online.
