Hi, I'm looking for private nursing schools in Southern CA Area(living in Anaheim, currently).
or Dallas, TX(if they have a right school for me, I'm ready to move out from CA to TX).
I'm actually looking for LVN to RN program school without pre-requisites,
or any school that has pre-requisites classes in that program at a same time.
And I can't go to Public school because of the long waiting line to get in the program.
It's been 3 days that I spent to search the schools with google...
but no good news still...
I'm going to use my military benefits that called GI Bill.
(covers around 16k - 22k each year/total 3 years)
Can I get some advice or help to find that kind of school...
I will be really appreciate it.

Sometimes if you go to the LPN to RN bridge program, the wait is not as long. My friend's daughter did this in FL as the applicant pool was separate from the regular RN program. This girl took all of the pre-req for the ADN program and got B's and C's. She got wait listed time after time. She went to a career school for LPN and ack to the community college for the bridge. She just got her BSN about a month ago from. u of Phoenix.
Thank you for the answer, Knotanoonurse!
I just heard too much about long waiting line of public school program in my area...
like they said took 2~3 years sometimes...

When you say "I can't wait" do you actually mean "I won't wait"?
Because there's a difference.
Best thing to do is check it out with the school so you know the real deal. As far as can'r and won't wait. Time can be money literally. You could get into a more expensive program and be working sooner OR wait and have less debt while you are working for a lower salary in the meantime before you get the RN degre. You have to decide what is best for you.
Thank you for all the answers!
I actually mean if i go to private school i don't have to worry about the long waiting line.
Thank you for the advice @ Knotanoonurse.
I'll search more about private nursing school in my living area.
