Since I get asked this quite often, thought that I would set this up as a sticky to have. If this works out well, then perhaps we can set up a sticky with all of the states for a current list and update it as needed. Think that it would make it easier for all to find things.

hodapp8 18 Posts Nov 2, 2008 Hi all. I wanted to submit the link below for CA questions on which schools are where. It is the California Board of Nursing's website, and it is always current. It specifies LVN programs. Just check it out and look for a city near you. It's a bit crazy asking all these questions here since everyone's situation is different, especially regarding locations. Here you go! I am 51 and going for my ADN. I still can't tell from all the posts here which would be best. I think I"ll just apply to whatever I can afford and drive to and then go from there. Any help in this regard would be great, as I live in Crockett and can go Solano, Contra Costa. But I'm thinking of driving all the way to Fremont (Unitek) to just "get er done! Take care everyone and good luck to all!http://www.rn.ca.gov/schools/rnprograms.shtml
GGirll22 139 Posts Specializes in Med Surg/ Pedi, OR. Nov 20, 2008 The private college in Fremont doesn't offer a BSN just a AA degree for $35,000.00 7 days a week for a year?? Not worth it for me. Unitec :uhoh21:

Also, I am graduating this year as a LVN from Bay Area college of nursing.I am from hayward and I'm looking for a LVN school. Would you recommend the school which u are attending? Do you thing school and work would work at the same time? are they pretty hard there? are they so picky about the grades and prereqs? I have my diploma but I don't have my transcript. Do you think it's gonna be a problem? Cz I know if I'll call them they'll say different stuff... and 2 many requirements but sometimes they consider u anyway...tnx:up:
