Has anybody gone to the ADN program at American Career College

Published

Its only 20 months and around 70k, but less if you get some of your science etc classes transferred over, This program isn't really talked about on here so I wanna know has anyone gone to it and graduated? are you an RN now? is it legit?

Disclaimer' this school is NOT my first choice of course, I am trying to get into a community college BUT if none takes me in for a long time private school is my last choice

A friend actually went there, graduated and passed her NCLEX. The school is listed on BRN's website, so they're legit - https://www.RN.ca.gov/education/rnprograms.shtml

Hi there! I also stubbled upon this school.. but don’t know how legit it is?. I have also finished my nursing prerequisites and also took my TEAS. I am just wanting to expand my options in case I don’t get into my first school community college chooses. 

Does anyone have any more information about this school?

Anybody know if they’ll allow a student to transfer into term 4/10?  I have pre reqs done, am becoming IV certified as required according to the web site, and have a semester into another nursing program which included pharm, med surg, etc....the website only references transferring pre reqs and transferring as an LVN.  I’m signed up for next Friday’s online info. session but was hoping somebody else on here would have some input. Thanks.

Hi, how long is the program? And cost if you finished pre-reqs? Are classes online and clinical on campus?

Its a 20 month accelerated program. I believe they do "pro-rate" prerequisites but they have to have been completed no more than 3-6 years from admission (exact year unknow). They require the wonderlic (aptitude test) and HESI (similar to TEAS) prior to interview, and admission to the program. If you qualify for pell grants the program will cost 80,000 and up for the full program, and you will likely require a personal loan. It's pretty pricey, but sometimes getting into a community college takes too many attempts and time. I'm currently in the waiting period, and hoping to be accepted sometime soon.
