Where to go from here

Hi, I know this is the Nurses forum and Im a pre-nursing student. But I had a question for all of you. Nursing schools are limited where I live and very competative, my gpa is good but not good enough. Im thinking about going to a different kind of college like Carrington or ITT. I know their expensive and I know their credits dont transfer out. But Ive met a few nurses that graduated from there and are pretty happy they just got it over with without the gpa game.

So just wondering if any of you are grads from alternate schools and how your experience helped you or hurt you.

My only advice is to make sure the school is accredited and the accreditation is accepted with the state boards where you live and plan to take the boards. Check w/the board - don't just take the schools word for it. Good luck

I live in Sacramento Ca and its very expensive out here for schooling. I did a lot of research before applying. And they cheapest LVN program was 25k, but the school had a horrible pass rate. The other schools were at least 30k and that's just for an LVN. I'm always surfing the job market and they pay nurses well out here.
