LBCC LVN program Long Beach city college

[mommyof2nurse2b]

Has anyone been through the Long Beach city college lvn program or is currently doing the pre reqs? Looking at their pre req list from the program looks like i only have to take pharmacology and CNA course in order to submit my application. Right now I only have 3 pre reqs left to start applying to RN/ ADN programs in SoCal, but my GPA is low So and I don’t have any previous healthcare expierence so I think my only chance of starting an ADN program that isn’t private would be LATTC (la trade tech ) which goes by waiting list. There waiting list is about 3-4 semesters so while I wait I plan on doing the LVN program at LBCC which from what I see is 3 semesters.

I don’t really have any questions I guess just looking to connect with other students who are looking into the LVN program or hear information , advice from those who have done the program or currently in it. I plan to work as an LVN while in RN school, and I wont be applying to LVN- Rn bridge I’m just going to start over with RN school. My current job pays well but would never accommodate the crazy nursing school schedule so I think LVN would be good to work as 2ish days a week while in the program.

Hi, I will actually be applying for the lvn program this month, have you applied yet? I attended an info session as well which had a lot of good info.
