Hi everyone!!I was wondering if anybody has heard of CCI in Ventura CA . I start the VN program in October it's pricey ($25 Thousand) to be exact!! But after attending one here in the area that was only $4,500 !! But only made it 7 months into it !! Ugh Pharmacology!! They did not allow calculators after being out of school since 01 it was allot to go back and remember basic math!!Hehe!! I could not let anything get in my way of reaching my dream!! !!Oh I have been doing the Pre-req. for the RN part time since summer of 05 and has a full-time mother it's a little hard!!So my next step is to bridge into it since the waiting list is 2yrs to get in.Thanks!!!

Hi EC22,
I'm still deciding to go to CCI also but I'm not sure if it's a good school for me. As of right now, I'm still searching for other LVN school. It's really hard because you don't know if its the right school for you... Anyways, how was the meeting with the representative? Did he/she gives you enough information about their program? Uhm I would really appreaciate if you can share some informations like what are their requirements for the program, financial aid and anything that they told you about CCI.
Thank you much,
Susan R.
Hi dischickwidTLC,
The meeting with the rep went ok. She was a little rude and really didn't answer all my questions =( They do offer financial aid but they wont tell you for how much you qualify until you take the entrance exam which I think is a bummer! I talked to some of the students there and they seem to like the teachers and the class itself but im still debating wheter to go there or not since it cost $25,000.00. Im also looking into going to Simi Valley Adult School. Im not sure where you live but you should try looking into the Simi school i believe the cost there is about $6,000.00. I hope this helps =) Let me know if you find anything better.
Thanks for the info. I highly appreciate it for sharing them to me. Uhmm I haven't found anything better, I am considering Xavier in Stockton. It's $20,000 and they said it's a brand new school. But as of now, I'm still debating whether to go to that one or the one in Ventura since I am closer there. Oh so they don't tell you how much you are getting from Financial Aid until you take the exam? so do you think it's like the higher score you get the more money they will offer you? uhmm.... They should've at least let us know that way we know what to expect. Anyways, uhmm I live in Santa Barbara County. I haven't heard about Simi Valley but I'll be happy to do a little research about that school. Thanks again, and pls. also share if you find something better. Godbless
