I've lived in CA since birth and have a lot of family here so based on my experience I would tell u to move to Central CA. The COL there is not high and you still have the oppurtunity to commute to work. Commuting in the bay area by car is HORRIBLE (EXTREME TRAFFIC!). Central CA has good schools, neat and tidy living environments, fresh air, a prime location that can take you to the snow or SO. CAL within 2 or 8 hours respectively. I'm not an RN yet, but when I graduate I would move to Elk Grove, CA. Its a developing city that is booming into becoming the next "all american city." p.s. I'm not a real estate agent.. i promise :chuckle lol o yah... the weather in CA is not as great as before.. in the summer it tends to get any where from 85-100 degrees in Central CA and in the winter the temp. can drop to 28 degrees.. but with that u can get snow in tahoe and a nice beach day only hours away.

Hi everyone! Soo.. basically... I was a "traditional" student trying to get into a BSN program in California and I was accepted to a private school but decided not to go because I would end up spending atleast 60k. So now I've decided to do the LVN to BSN route and was wondering if anyone knows of any online programs that are recognized in CA? I read a lot of the posts for Excelsior but I'm not sure if california recognizes them. Please help. And also- I haven't "officially" sent in my decline letter so I would love some input from everyone: Basically.. i can graduate with my BSN in two years for 60-80k (includes housing, food, travel, tuition, etc...) or I can go the LVN to BSN route.. or LVN to ADN to BSN.. My family says that I should go for my BSN right away but the problem is... my fiance . He doesn't want me to go out of state... Do you think it would be selfish of me to go and not honor his decision or stupid of me to stay and let go of my dream? Thanks Nina

Hi all! I was wondering... has anyone attended the LVN program by WCC? If so, how much is the cost? (In the Bay area) Thanks!

Hi Jules! I took the Teas and only got an 85 but I've heard my friends say that it depends on the "pool" of students who take the test that day or that week. Basically I think you're compared to students who take it within a certain time period. I know that they ask you which program your taking it for so maybe that has something to do with the score too... Aside from that.. i think that the math, english and reading are basic.. the science is a little tough because i dont think many people remember all the details from A&P hope that helps!

Hi everyone..:roll This is my first post but I'm really excited because it looks like everyone is sooo friendly and supportive! :monkeydance: Well.. I'm a pre-nursing student in the Bay Area and I'm applying for Fall 07. I haven't even submitted all of my applications yet but I'm so anxious. I don't know if I can hold on.. =( Basically I have a 3.59 GPA, repeated one science course (terrible.. i know!), and received an 85 on the TEAS (w/o studying) but plan on taking it again this month. I'm applying to a four CSU's. Does anyone know what the stats were for CSU Fresno, Sac, Stan, and/or Chico last year? My family and boy friend seem to be getting tired of listening to me say ' i wonder if i'll get in...will i... i dont know...' I feel like i'll go crazy before I can read my acceptance letter (hopefully acceptance letter!) Will someone please bring sanity back into my life! O wait.. the only people who can are on the admission committee!!!!!!! ahhhh p.s. I really like the smilies!
