Decent private schools in SoCal that offer ADN?

[elle0elle]

Hello everyone. I've been lurking in this website for quite sometime now. I've been itching to make a thread and ask some questions that has been bothering me, and today I finally made my first post! :balloons:

I'm currently looking at different schools (either LVN or ADN), haven't applied to any yet or started any pre-requisites for the ADN program.

I already know the advantage/disadvantages of going for either, but now I'm kinda leaning towards the ADN route more, as I see posts about some private schools that take only less than 2 years to complete (including pre-requisites)!

I'm willing to move anywhere in Cali for a program that will give me the best bang for my buck! I don't qualify for any financial aide/student loan so I'm gonna be paying for the tuition out of my pocket, borrowing from relatives and parents. So tuition really is a major concern.

Can anyone please furnish me with information about private ADN schools that they know of? Is there at least one program in Cali that takes less than 3 years including Gen. Ed. and pre-requisites (not the 30-unit option)? If so, will they be transferable in case I decide to go onto pursuing a BSN degree after?

Thank you so much in advance!

It depends where is So cal you live. I am currently attending a private ADN program in Los Angeles. It is called Los Angeles County School of Nursing and Allied health. It is 2400 a semster but you do have to have your pre-reqs already. Here is there website. http://ladhs.org/lacusc/lacnah/

I like it so far. ALso check out Mt. Saint Mary's they are also a private school where you can pursue either your ADN or BSN. And you can do all the pre-reqs there.

Also check out the CA board of nursing to find diffrent types of schools. Here is the websitehttp://www.rn.ca.gov/schools/rnprgms.htm#adn

Good Luck!

I think Mount St. Mary's is excellent. Both campuses.

I worked with a new grad from Maric College in San Diego. She is a fine nurse. She has large loans to pay off but didn't have to wait for admission. She just turned 21 so I hope she has a long wonderful nursing career ahead of her.
