Go to the info session..they have them twice a week...and they get a FULL HOUSE. I'm guessing they will have a good 400 applicants easy for the 80 spots in july. My husband and I went to an info session...and there was a good 80 people or so just at an info session....so add that up twice a week...for a good few months...there are a lot of people interested in these programs. It's insane.

Thanks I went to the session yesterday. I am going to go ahead and start the process. I'm going to test on feb 24. With so many people applying it will be interesting to see if I get in.....Info sessions are twice a week Tue 4:00 and Thurs 1:00. The month of Feb only. Its about 45000 and 24 months(for people with no prereqs or lvn) They only take forty twice a year.

Thanks for all your help Nickilaughs. Did your husband sign up? Do you live nearby the school?

My only downfall is that I live so far. I left my house yesterday at 2:15 to get there by 4:00. I arrived at 4:04. arghh! Mapquest said it would take 1hr.5min.

I'll just have to adjust to all of that driving. :rolleyes:

Hi newbee 57,

There are LVN to ADN programs at West Coast University (Anaheim, LA and Ontario campuses)

Also there is a straight BSN program there too- prereqs built in. Not sure which you are interested in but those locations might be better for you. I am currently in my first term there with the BSN program and it is intense but there is a date for graduation 3 years from now with a BSN without LVN, ADN steps.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help. I went to West Coast and applied to the bsn. I wasready to start in Feb. Two weeks before the start date I canceled. Nothing against West Coast or their reps.......I'm just scared of the high tuition! I'm 51 and I can't see paying off student loans for the rest of my life!

Thanks so much for your help and good luck in your studies.

no problem... I hope you find a school to suit your needs...at a better price.

Tuition is very high but I am 30. I am hoping to find a job while in school to pay some of the tuition through tuition reimburement. Also hoping for a signing bonus to jump start the tuition repayment too. Every bit helps.
