    raebabelvn replied to ef0zzy's topic in California Nursing

    I have, but I cant do online classes. I lack the discipline. I looked into West Coast, but its too expensive. What I'll probably do is finish all my pre-reqs at a CC then transfer to a 4 year. Out...

    raebabelvn replied to We'llSee's topic in California Nursing

    I got the strangest call from WCU last week. I has my FA appt, but missed it because I've been pretty sick. They told me if they didnt hear from me soon, they'd cancel me. Strange, considering there's...

    raebabelvn replied to scorpio82's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Which campus are you looking at? I've heard that ACC is a little more teach yourself kind of program. I went to the Garden Grove campus. The leadership there is a little over the top. But if you can...
