Concorde NoHo or West Cost Ultrasound Institute for LVN? (Or others?)

[Chireiyu]

Hello! I'm currently looking into various LVN programs in SoCal (mainly around the Los Angeles area) and have narrowed my choices down to Concorde Career College in North Hollywood and West Coast Ultrasound Institute in Beverly Hills. Has anyone had any experience with these colleges? I've found very little on Concorde's NoHo campus and nothing on WCUI's LVN program. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also, for the N-CLEX pass rates...

Concorde (North Hollywood):

2007 92% (36)

2008 84% (75)

2009 77% (75)

2010 80% (99)

WCUI (Beverly Hills):

2008 53% (19)

2009 71% (14)

2010 89% (28)

WCUI's pass rates seem to be improving but should I still be wary? Also, should I be concerned that the amount of students taking the test is so few?

I'm still planning on visiting both campuses to get a feel for the place. But I'd also like your input. (:

I'd really love your advice. Please feel free to suggest any other programs as well! (Though at the moment getting my LVN at a CC or ROP is not an option...)

Thank you in advance! :redpinkhe

Hi, which school did you choose to do your VN? I'm also in the LA area and actually narrowed it down to American Career College & WCUI in Beverly Hills. I want to start school this year and just trying to see which school will be the best choice.

Thanks!
