   I would like a copy of the book list please. Also do you know whether the fees for the pre-req class have to be paid in full by the time the class begins or do they let you make monthly payments till its paid?

    SparkleShine replied to Shortandfeisty's topic in California

    I'm afraid your options are limited to going to one of the private schools like Unitek as you mentioned or going to one of the community colleges and trying to get into their LVN program through the lottery because there is no way to became an LVN/LP...
