Your best bet is through the community college system, unless you like wasting a ton of money on private school tuition. The downside is that there is a a 2+ year waiting list for the community colleges and that is AFTER you have completed the prerequisites and passed the HESI entrance exam.

If you don't want to be on a waiting list, private schools are your only option.. unless you qualify for one of the concurrent enrollment programs out there.. but I'm not sure those won't have wait lists.

I personally would never go to a private school. The tuition is too high, credits don't generally transfer and the nurses I know (including a nurse recruiter at one of the biggest hospitals in Arizona) have strongly advised against it.
