I found the disclosures for Vista College and they are somewhat dismal. I discourage anyone from spending $36,000 in tuition and fees on an LVN program.

Do a search here on Vista college. I have posted about how they were in trouble with the board of nursing in Texas I taught at Las Cruces New Mexico campus and they had to redo the curriculum and start over. During that time they were prevented from admitting for about 10 months because of the problems with the curriculum. And yes $34,000 is more than three times what I paid for my masters degree in nursing. You're better off looking for a community college and get an associate degree some of them allow you to step out and take the LPN exam. What city and state are you looking at? They simply are interested in getting your financial aid but not interested in your education.

Since the OP is using the 'LVN' title instead of 'LPN,' I can safely conjecture (s)he is considering a Vista College campus in Texas.

Well I went for an interview at vista college here in texas. They actually said its 26,000 still think its too much??? Oh n forgot to mention I can no longer attend the community college I already reached the six drop rule....having that said vista is my only option left for nursing :( .....unless I go for a bsn which I consider impossible at this time...but thanks for our input...im still thinking about it....
