Hi my name is Melissa and I am currently an LVN Student. I live in southern California in the Temecula Valley. I have 6 more months until I graduate and I am looking into a LVN to BSN program. Ideally I would like to find work and continue with my education. I have not finished all my nursing Pre Req courses. So I would be interested in a program that could help me complete both the Pre-Reqs and BSN program. I have looked into West Coast but there tuition was CRAZY! I have attended some of the community colleges here but have had very slow progress trying to enroll or even crash in any of the remaining courses I need. They are just so over crowded! I have three children, a home and family here so relocating is out. So if anyone has any suggestions on online courses or campuses, I would like to hear any suggestions. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, I am new to this site. I was wondering if anyone out there has graduated from Kaplan College in Vista and has obtained a job as an LVN. I am considering attending Kaplan for the LVN Program in VIsta this June 2011 or October 2011 but I am concerned that I may not obtain a job because I went through a "career college" program versus a university or comunity college? At least thats what I have been seeing reviews by other people on the internet. I have not done much research about career colleges before and have only heard bad things about them Is Kaplan a good school for the LVN Program?? I would appreciate anyones feedback. I am 32 years old and a momma of three children. I have already attended three semesters in a community college, However with all the budget cuts I have only been able to get into two classes that were actually part of my pre-recs...the other classes were just fillers so I could get a better registration date every semester... I am just not ready to spend 4-6 years in a community college or university to get my pre-recs and then apply and wait to get into the nursing program. With all these budget cuts it may take me longer. So thats why I decided to look into Kaplan. So again any info would be appreciated! Thanks!
