Anyone have any insight or experiences with CNI college in Orange County? Any CNI grads?

I am currently active duty military, my enlistment is up in april 2016. Because I am from California, I plan on going back to Long Beach to pursue a nursing degree. However, it seems like all these schools in my area (Cal State LB, LBCC, Cerritos College etc.) all have competitive nursing programs and I don't have time to wait around to see if I get accepted or not. I did some research and came across CNI college in Orange, they claim to have an ADN program with no pre-reqs necessary. It's a 60k program, which I feel is a lot for just an Associates degree, but like I said I don't have the time to wait around for things to work out and I just want to jump right into nursing school. I've taken all the general ed classes (biology, college algebra, speech, english composition,etc.), my gpa isn't that high though, so I know I can't compete with other applicants applying to these other programs, which is why I am considering Private schools such as CNI. If anyone can give me any advice or lead me towards the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. I just want to spend my GI Bill money correctly.

I'm not sure if you're already in the program but I would suggest to look for another school. I went to CNI for my RN. To be honest, a lot of my classmates feel like CNI is not giving enough training to their students. The clinical sites are not even that great and most of the instructors goes to their classes unprepared. But in fairness, they also have smart and knowledgeable instructors but you can easily count them with your fingers of your one hand.
