    The program I attended, Casa Loma College, was exactly 12 months long. The LVN program was offered at two campuses: Van Nuys and Hawthorne, CA.

    In my area, northern ca, the program I attended in 2012 was 12 months- incl prereqs. Another program was 15 mos, another was 10 months-- but reqd a 6 week prereq course. The community college takes 1 semester of prereqs, then the vn program is 1.5 yrs.
