Lexi and 45 where are you now with Ventura's program?

Have any of you done the online version? i am looking into it, but not sure if the same problems are going to exist, especially if i am in another state. Is it worth it to try this online? or just do like a phenix university rout

Is this about the ADN or MSN program? i just got my ADN and was looking into their MSN program, anyone heard anything about it?

Hey Cax, I went through their LVN program because i heard all the rumours about the 3 year wait list that the community collages have. I got my license and did my prereques. Made an appointment to see a councillor and he said literally, great you start in 3 months. no wait list, no drama. All the collages are going to the point system and the easiest way to get past all that drama is the LVN. Were you looking at Moorpark or Ventura? Can i suggest Santa Barbra? Moorpark and Ventura start you in 2nd semester while Santa Barbra starts you in third, so 6 months faster. i am not saying anything and about Ventura (where i went) or Moorpark (where a lot of my friends went). Both are awesome. But Santa Barbra city collage is faster. Good luck! let me know what you decide!

Yep i am taking Sociology this summer online. So exciting! well not really... Why cant you apply until the end of next year? what classes do you still need to take?

LexiG Any idea when your going to be done with your pre reqs? I am starting third semester in the fall and would really like to know someone there!

LexiG-your right =) its a 2.5 gpa. it must be moorpark that has a limit on how many times you can retake core classes.

Best advice would be to contact the JC's I went in to Ventura for a counseling appointment in september and they told me that i start second in Jan. Dont listen to the rumors, call the schools =) I also went with a friend to Santa Barbara City college and LVNs there can start their program in third semester. Moorpark has a test that you take coming in as an LVN to determine if you join in second or third. But the problem my friend is having with Moorpark is that your core prereqs must be within 5 years, so she now has to retake math just to apply. Good Luck! Call the schools, get a counseling appointment, it doesn't hurt!!

I will keep my fingers crossed for you to get your acceptance letter! Good Luck

Hey, She applied in september and received a letter last month. But she has an amazing GPA, and a bachelors, and i am sure she did awesome on the TEAS, so i dont know if that got her in faster.

hey guys! I have a friend who applied to moorpark and they told him that the processing time was between 4-6 months. So keep your chin up, another friend applied in september and just got told shes starting in august

I am enrolled in Ventura's program, but a friend of mine is in Moorparks, and one of her clinical locatiions is Tarzana hospital, they also go to los robles, Other then those two i dont know. Ventura is at St. Johns, VCMC and pleasant valley. Hope that helps!

I am in Venturas RN program, and they kinda warned us that the job market out here is a little hellish right now. There are not a lot of jobs, and a lot of people going for what is available. Your idea of getting your CNA and working is a great one. I got my LVN license and everywhere i applied told me to come back when i had experience. Good luck with the prereqs, you can do it, just have to keep your spirits up!

Welcome to the club! what program are you going for? what college?

You may want to recheck the amount of classes you can retake. I know that both Ventura and Moorpark are now on the points system and repeats in the core classes (anatomy, physiology and micro) count against you if you retake more then one. The last time i talked to the Ventura counselors they said they have zero wait list, so hopefully you wont have to go through the LVN program. If you do go the LVN rout you join the class at second semester. You just have to have the prereques finished and keep your LVN license current. Volcomcna- if you are still looking I would look into the LVN program in Westlake, PMCI. They are price, but the clinical instructors are amazing, and their psych instructor is really passionate about it (I hated psych, but she made it livable) Good Luck and let me know what you decide =)
