Hi, Elkpark -- thank you both for your best wishes on my nursing journey (I'll take 'em!) and also for the info about ways to evaluate schools; those are great tips and very useful to those who are...
I found this on-line -- CA has a loan repayment program for health workers. The LVN repayment program seems to pay up to $6000. (I think you commit to working in an under-served area for 24 mos.)...
I haven't started yet, so really have no helpful opinion on the school/program at this time, other than I had a much better feeling about the school after meeting with the owner/founder/director Dr....

What do you want to do as a career? Do you know where your strengths lie? Do you want to work with people? (Do you like being in hospitals and do you mind being around sick people?) Or do you...
I'm sorry you've had such a negative experience thus far, superduperawesome. It is good we have this forum to vent and to get encouragement and helpful advice from those who have "been there." I...
