Hi! What can you say about Antelope Valley Hospital?

1. Location

2. Cost of Living

3. Peace and Order

Has anyone here heard about the ADN program at Antelope Valley City College. Any waiting list or thoughts about their program?

I live in the Antelope Valley and have never heard anything bad about the Antelope Valley College nursing program. I have heard that it is tough and I know they have jobs waiting when they're done. Friends that have gone there didn't have long waits but did need a good GPA. No C's in sciences at all....

Good luck.

If you are looking at Palmdale/Lancaster consider Tehachapi, CA. It is a rural community in the mountians about an hr away and is the process of building a new hospital. The cost of living is low, as well as the crime rate. Look up http://www.bearvalleysprings.com for a look at the area.

Tehachapi is beautiful, my in laws have a nice home there however the cost of living is NOT low, K-Mart is their only department store, and most people go to Lancaster or Bakersfield for their medical care. There is a prison in Tehachapi, I have an xray tech friend who works at the current hospital once in awhile. Great place for retirees and the back to nature folks. Not so great employment wise, even if you don't mind drives of an hour or two each way, they're often snowed in in the winter. Houses are still less expensive, food and utilities not so much!

hey dijaqrn about how long was the wait time for admission. and do you think they will accept transfers from devry because i graduated from there in 2004. i need to take science classes for sure still. i only have english math and psych. under my belt

The current wait time is less than a year for AVC if your prereqs are done. The dean is great but it's a tough program.. The west side of Palmdale isn't bad at all. AVH has a new CEO who wants to focus on customer service. The nurses are now unionized, making better salaries and seem happier. The ER is insane, 2nd busiest in the state. 420 bed hospital now, so desperate for nurses they SENT recruiters to the Phillipines!!!!!!!!!!:balloons::balloons:
