Any good nursing programs in Solano County?

Published

Hi all. I am new to this website and am glad that I was able to stumble upon here during my search of a good nursing school that offers LVN programs. I live in Solano County and have been only looking into the schools that have an average to perfect pass rate per the BVNPT. So far, I have found CSI in Vacaville. I have an appointment to meet with them on Monday but from the reviews that I have read about them so far, there are more negatives one than positive. So I am kind of having second thoughts about even meeting with them now. Can anyone who have or currently attend this school provide any insights about their LVN programs? Also anyone knows of any other good LVN schools in the Solano County area? Thanks!

about lvn schools, i would look on the board of nursing website for accredited schools to make sure the one you are going to is licensed and valid.

Sounds like you are looking for a LVN Program in Solano County?

http://www.bvnpt.ca.gov/ Will help in your search for accredited schools.

On the website it states, "*CSI Career College

Expires : * 5/19/10"?

I found that rather odd.

I personally know a friend who went to CSI in Vacaville, CA and regretted her decision. According to her, the school was disorganized, overly priced for the quality of education provided, and she felt she was teaching herself. She is currently a LVN but working hard to pay off her loans.

I do not believe in For Profit schools of nursing. Generally, I believe they treat their educational practice as a business and do not provide quality education.

I strongly recommend going to a local community college, which is cost effective and allows the option for furthering education later on.

Well schools have a expiration date for accreditation. All school have it & they have to re apply and get approved for it again. Which this school did. Friends of mine went to this program recently. All private/post secondary schools are more exspensive, they are quicker, but wayyyy more exspensive. I agree, if you want to save money and you have patience, I would take classes at your local community college. :)
