Anyone attending any private school LVN to RN bridge program in SoCal?

Updated:   Published

I am currently looking for a LVN to RN program either ADN or BSN. I've gone to a west coast university orientation but OMG its so pricey. Also I've contacted concorde career college in orange but they will not credit my LVN. Anyone know of any other programs?

Specializes in Operating Room.

LA County College of Nursing and Allied Health has a great LVN-RN, ADN program. I will be graduating in 11 days. It is not a private school but there is no waitlist, it is a point system based on grades and entrance exam. They have a basic two-year program and an LVN option which is 1 year. I will be graduating as an LVN transfer. The cost is less than $10000 as an LVN transfer. It has been a great experience and the clinical is amazing, we do a lot more as students than many other colleges. Here is a link to the website.

Wow thank you. This school is a hidden gem. The only downside is that they want LA county residents and I currently reside in OC. Also Congrats future RN.

I looked at west coast when they had the ADN, almost went there but they were so disorganized and kept screwing up what they were crediting me for and were enroll one me in classes I didn't need. Everest had one also in Ontario. I ended up relocating to Fremont and slept on a family friends couch for 9 months to do unitek as I had all my gen ed and sciences done, I just needed the nursing component and they were the only ones who would credit me everything the way it should be. I would just look through the approved California list on the brn website and see what is in your area.

Good luck!

If you are willing to relocate, San Joaquin Valley College offers a private LVN-to-RN transition program that is located in central California. Kaplan College also offers a program in the San Diego area.

American Career College in Los Angeles is now offering an ADN program. The only requirement is passing the Hesi with a 75% average.

The LVN program I was in was tough, but it is definitely do-able. Good luck in your program. :)
