   I've decided to just do the LPN to RN thing. But the LPN program doesn't start 'til Fall 2011. Expect Class of 2013 at soonest. Anyway, yeah, I'll just do GEs at Santa Monica College online. Thanks...

2. PCC Nursing Program = RN in 1 year?

   EstherOliver replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

   Thank you for the help. I will be applying soon but this means I won't see the program until Fall 2011. Anyway, I am finding the prereqs relatively short and easy, but I am not sure about...

3. PCC Nursing Program = RN in 1 year?

   EstherOliver replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

   Does their bridge program only operate through spring and fall or is it into summer, too? Looking in that pamphlet it says there is an intersession mandatory prior to starting the course. Is this in...

4. PCC Nursing Program = RN in 1 year?

   EstherOliver replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

   So, if you are already an LVN (which I would use LVN to RN bridge program instead of this), what's the fastest time you can go from LVN to RN? Looking on Google I see anything from 11 to 18 months,...

5. First time student to CA CC?

   EstherOliver replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

   I have been asked this question (or similar ones) many times. More than you can count. "Wow, you're so young!" "Why do you want to do something like this?" To be honest, I enjoy the new freedoms it...

6. First time student to CA CC?

   EstherOliver replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

   I understand that. I should probably take the LVN route first, which does begin in Fall 2011. Then I'd upgrade three semesters later. Unfortunately they're about the same length now, I believe. If I...

   My father said the same, "You'd be way better taking science and math in the physical environment; unfortunately that's what most of these prereqs are." And thanks for the Phoenix

8. First time student to CA CC?

   EstherOliver replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

   Argh. That's a long wait. I got people impatiently tapping their feet for me in Australia and I graduated HS a year early. I knew RN is in demand but I forgot about the prereqs. Should probably switch...

   EstherOliver replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

   Unfortunately, this means if I wait two months then it will be around July 10 (8 weeks, remember?) when I finish. I'm going to have to jump right into the second class that needed my prereq for...

    EstherOliver replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

    One last thing: I noticed one or two classes require prequisites (AKA college courses I have not yet taken). Oh, man. Don't make me wait!!! I'm going to try and perusade them to let me take both at...

    EstherOliver replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

    Wow, that is generous! I'm choosing 8 week courses for sure, I'm home everyday anyway! At this rate I definitely beat the deadline by finishing everything by July and still getting a break as the...

    EstherOliver replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

    Are all ten courses available on the website? I was dumb so I took Prealgebra for freshman year in high school still. I will ask my CC counselor if that transfers. I am addicted to the Internet and,...

    EstherOliver replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

    I guess I can take half the classes online (5) and half on campus in PCC (5). Thanks so much for the link. They closed right now and I'm going to register on Monday. What a lifesaver! I just hope I am...
