Unitek College in Freemont

Hi all. I wanted to submit the link below for CA questions on which schools are where. It is the California Board of Nursing's website, and it is always current. It specifies LVN programs. Just check it out and look for a city near you. It's a bit crazy asking all these questions here since everyone's situation is different, especially regarding locations. Here you go! I am 51 and going for my ADN. I still can't tell from all the posts here which would be best. I think I"ll just apply to whatever I can afford and drive to and then go from there. Any help in this regard would be great, as I live in Crockett and can go Solano, Contra Costa. But I'm thinking of driving all the way to Fremont (Unitek) to just "get er done! Take care everyone and good luck to all!
