tobyboy, i can't pm yet because I am still too new to the site. However, I was accepted into LAHC. Excellent nclex pass rates of 95% average. All you need to do is take the pre-reqs, and the lvn to rn transition courses.There was no wait for us LVN's. (adn) Wilmington , Ca...close to Torrance/Harbor City area

@caffeineaddict: congratulations on getting into LAHC! Cool, I'm an LVN too and I was wondering what my odds were of getting into an RN program. Good to know there was no wait for you!

@tobyboy: If you're in downtown L.A., have you looked at LA Trade Tech? They have a "Career Ladder" from LVN to RN. Go to www.lattc.edu

There's also the LA County College of Nursing and Allied Health. They are near the USC Medical Center and have "Advanced Placement" for LVNs. Click here: http://www.ladhs.org/wps/portal/CollegeOfNursing

Specializes in Stroke Seizure/LTC/SNF/LTAC.

Some schools have nursing pre-req's online (general ed stuff). I don't know of any online sciences because of the lab requirement. Once you get your ADN, there are several schools that have online ADN-BSN and even some ADN-MSN classes. The downside of those programs is that they are very expensive ($20-30K/year), but the upside is you can earn your MSN in about 3 years from the ADN.

Before you even start thinking about the nursing program, you need to get the pre-reqs out of the way, like physiology, anatomy and microbiology, plus other general ed classes. Since school is starting pretty soon, you might want to start checking out availability. The classes at a lot of schools have already filled up. I'm going to LA Southwest College (off the 105 fwy) for Physiology, Mondays and Wednesdays starting at 6:30 and last I heard there was still room!
