Everest College

[Charmeleon]

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and found the site researching on the field. I want to be a nurse and am applying to Concordia in Irvine for a BSN. I already have an english degree at another college and they require you have a bachelors already before you apply to their program. My question is about Everest College. I was considering applying here. I also considered West Coast University on the Anaheim campus but searched the threads here and found out that they do not transfer units to other schools in the case that I may want to pursue a masters or RN if I only for for their LVN program. Sure, I want atleast a bachelors but the tuition costs are monumental there. I also considered Mt. SAC (San Antonio College) be it they are all lottery system. Other community colleges I hear have waitlists that take 1 or more years to get in if you even get on the list. I calculated tuition to be 24,500 dollars at Concordia in Irvine and hear on other threads that its 116,000 at West Coast University. I read that it is a "trade school" and it would be like apples and oranges compared to colleges and universities to actually be able to transfer credits, so I figure its not worth it. I would apply to more schools such as Long Beach City College, Cypress College or Saddleback College, but I would need to retake Microbiology since its more than 5 years old. I am taking Physiology and American history in the Spring (Amer. Hist is required for many community colleges) and weren't able to get into the Microbiology class, and I don't want to delay. Are there any schools in Southern California that have atleast a 6 year period since one's taken the classes rather than 5? I just need some advice on what schools I could apply to which I would commute from Irvine. Thanks
