CNA to BSN programs??

Hello! Online, there are many, many articles TALKING about CNA - BSN programs but none of which actually mention schools that conduct these programs. I live in southern California (south bay area) and I'm looking for a local certified/accredited school that would allow a CNA graduate into their nursing program. Long story short, I can't afford to take any longer in community college just wasting my time and money away.

Thank you!!

    Search "CNA to BSN" on here. Lots of good answers.

    My CNA license only took 2 weeks to complete. Your real hurdle is ur prereq completion. All BSN programs will require some combination of prereqs.

    Sometimes holding an active CNA license will get you a slightly higher ranking towards entering a nursing program. The BSN program I just got accepted to didn't care about my CNA license. Only associate's-level RN programs in my area gave it any recognition. So, I wasted 2 weeks and some money. But, whether the CNA will help your ranking varies by college & by region, and getting into it boarders on getting off topic.

    No (reputable) nursing program is going to grant entrance without A&P, micro, stats, etc. And if they do it sounds like a diploma mill and questionably accredited. Just as the above post says, having your CNA may make you a more favorable candidate for a nursing program, but theres really nothing unique about a CNA going to nursing school. In fact i'd say the majority of applicants have their CNA's also.
