I will be applying to community college LVN programs and if I don't get in I was thinking of going to that Concorde private school because its like 8k less than American Career College's lvn program but I think theyre accredited by different people? Anyways its one of the cheapest private lvn programs I have found. Has anyone gone to this school and how did it go? are they legit? what was your experience? Any info would be great

Hi,
I graduated from Concorde. They are "legit" as in they are accredited and will get you on track for your nursing license. Overall experience was decent. Not extraordinary, and not horrible either. You get what you put into it.
Good luck!

No I went to the Garden Grove one!
Teachers were good. We went to had 2 hospitals, one acute hospital, and one LTACH. You can, but you still have to do the pre reqs for an RN program. Some programs are still doing LVN to RN programs, but most of them you'll have to start from the beginning.
