Recommended LVN to RN program in SoCal?

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

Hi I recently pass my NCLEX PN and looking forward to become an RN...

Can anyone recommend me what are some of the good programs out there?

Here are some since I live around these, have anything good or bad to say about the following?

-Citrus college - heard it harder to get in because based on point system??!

-ELAC - as long you got the prereq... U can sign up on the waiting list? (Heard from a friend not sure if correct)

-mt. Sac --- no idea but sometimes drive by it when I'm on the freeway....

any feedback/comments/ suggestion welcome and thanks:)

Specializes in 4.

There are several in the Southern CA region but it changes every semester related to budget cuts. I have about a year left of pre-req's so I haven't called but my ears/eyes are always open. Trust me, they are out there but you may have to travel a distance.

Specializes in TBI and SCI.

I know last time I looked, many programs still required the rn pre reqs. So at least make sure u have you general- a&p, micro, chem 1, psychology, sociology, speech 101, stats..... Those were many pre reqs I saw when looking last.i also know that for Most school,s pre reqs needs to be within 4 years... Thus why I went to lvn school to at least get started.

I hear ear mixed reviews about west coast college.... And mr. St. Marys is awesome, has a wait list, and pricey but good.

There is also a private school of nursing, I heard about yeeears ago that a friends gf went to. Somewhere near riverside or San Diego one of the 2 lol. Good luck. Start soon! The best way, otherwise we will forget everything!

(Im waiting on my scores still) :)
