Hello, i'm a LVN, i finished my RN and am waiting to take the Nclex.
My question is for my LVN co workers who want to start the RN program i finished.
I would like to know if anyone knows any fast track anatomy/physiology/microbiology courses in california, maybe weekend only?
I know that some of the UC extensions offer fast track CHEM/PHYS/BIO course for premed/vet/dental, but can't remember if they do the same for prenursing.
someone suggested online classes, but i believe that a lab has to be involved, online maybe fine for GE and degree classes, but not science with labs.
course now i see they have online CPR certification classes.
also, any night/weekend RN programs?
i went the regular college route, but most of my coworkers are single parents with house payments, they can't work part time, but still want to advance to RN, please help me to help them.

I took almost all my science pre-reqs during the summer or winter sessions at a local CC where the semester is aprox. half the normal time so that helped. There are some evening weekend programs at CCs and I know a lot of people that switched to second or third shift at work while going to school during the day. Where there is a will there is a way!
