hey i just moved to california from connecticut. i met with kaplan college about their lvn program and i just ned some feedback about your experience as a student or grad. i really need this help thanks:up:

Im thinking of going to kaplan in vista also. How do you like it? Anything i should know about the school? Im not really sure if i should go there or go somewhere else.

Hi there. I have not started yet. My LPN class starts in Feb and is one full year. The biggest gripe I hear about this school is the price!!! It's very high and if I were not a VET & military spouse we could not afford it. Are you a VET or military spouse?

im a military spouse. ive already used 3,000 of the 6,000 we get for school. it was for an online medical transcription class. i hate it and cant remember anything because you dont use any of the info til the end. im the type of person if im not using it while im learning it then ill forget it. i havent finished the course and dont want to. can i apply to get the other 3,000 even though i havent finished this medical transcription course? exactly how much are you paying at kaplan and how much are the books? do you know if the lvn course is a year also? i requested info from kaplan and im waiting for someone to contact me.

kaplan lvn program in vista is 30k and one full year. the rn program for kaplan in sd is around 50k i think. i am not sure about the other 3k of the mycaa, you should email them and ask them. how long has you husband been in? i think (but am not 100%) that if a service member has been on over 10 years they can transfer the gi bill to their spouse, so if this is an option for you, you may want to look into it. the new gi bill would cover 100% of the average state tution for ca ( approx 9k) and would also give you a monthly allowence of around 1500, whatever bah is for an e5 with dependants.

Just a clarification to liberty bells post...spouses are not entitled to BAH while the service member is still on active duty. Don't want to get anyone's hopes up with that one.

Yea, to be honest I do not know a whole lot about GI BILL tranfers since I am a vet myself and WILL reeive BAH with my GI BILL.

Hi, I'm hoping you can answer my question....I was planning on using my post 9/11 Gi Bill for the LVN program at Kaplan College in Vista. However, after reading about the 9/11 GI Bill at www.gibill.va.gov.....it stated that it doesn't cover vocational/technical schools...only higher learning institutions that offer DEGREES. Were you able to use it at Kaplan? Anyone who can answer this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hi everyone! Does anyone know the exact cost of Kaplan College in Vista for the RN program? I'm at Cypress College doing the prerequisites and when i finish those i still have to wait 5 years to wait till i get in to the nursing program. I really want to finish as soon as possible.

It's about 50k, if you are not transferring any classes.. I'm not a student there though. But I did visit the San Diego campus and got some information. You also need at least 6 months of medical experience before applying to the program.
