Hello SOCALMOM I live in Torrance CA (LA county) and the hospital I work for offered this program quite a few years ago. They had a program worked out with one of the local community college. It was for their already hired LPN employees. How it worked was, You continue working in your department, but only worked 20 hrs every two weeks and then went to school for 20 hrs every two weeks. The hospital paid you your regular pay (as if you were working full time) The program took 1 year and then you were able to take the RN boards. I didn't take advantage of it at that time. Wish that I had. If they ever offer it again, I surely will take them up on it. Roberta

I live in Long Beach Ca. but work in the city of Torrance (10 miles away) and made a little over that last year. I work full time at an accute hospital, and rarely work "extra". So yes it is true you can make 40G, but our housing cost out here is outrageous.
