Hi M.mata1990,
Do you plan on relocating? I'm asking because you will not be able to take the NCLEX in California if you go that school. Not trying to deter you from going just wondering. I am also in CA and if the program has to be accredited with state board in order to obtain license here.

I was accepted to the Pratt CC summer 2013 Hybrid lpn to RN but dropped the program before it began. It was set to start June 10 but by June 1st we still had NO information being given to us. We knew we had 10 times where we had class at Pratt then 18 clinical days but we had NO idea when or where other than that first day June 10. I needed to know this stuff in advance. honestly I had heard so much about Hutch CC's online program's flexibility and assumed incorrectly that Pratt would be similar. The class arrangement is weird -- each class is only 6 weeks and a couple overlap so you take 12+ hours during summer but very few hours (I'm thinking less than 6 because I was concerned about financial aid) for the fall. Your fall semester is done in early October.
Moral of the story? Unless you have an extremely Flexible PT work schedule and live close to Pratt, don't bother. I'm very excited to start Hutch CC's online LPN to RN program in December! If you'd like info I'd be more than happy to tell you about the school. :)
