@pixiehollow Did you ever start the LVN program at Concorde ? If so, how do you like it.? I am looking into LVN programs in the Inland empire and then do a BSN bridge program . Thanks

Hi everyone! Need some feedback on LVN programs near me. I have researched numerous LVN programs in my area. I have seen positive and negative reviews about every school. So bottom line it boils down to has any graduated or knows someone who graduated from any of the programs below: North-West LVN program Riverside Career Care Institute LVN program Moreno Valley Concorde LVN Program San Bernardino Summit LVN Program Colton And basically, I want to know if you did graduate from anyone of these programs were you able to do an LVN to BSN bridge program. And any insight on getting a job as an LVN? Thanks ?

HI Rileyc, I've been looking into LVN programs, I have a information session tomorrow and classes start the 26th of Sept. I was wondering if you ever found any info on the correctional jobs the link you posted doesn't open. And how is school going for you? Any advice you can offer me? Thanks

Hi Thanks for replying! I have two years' experience as an MA I don't have a certificate though. But my goal is getting my BSN then CRNA. It’s just such a process to go through a community college right now. I also look in West Cost University BSN program but the school isn’t WASC accredited and the tuition is really expensive! So I've been looking into LVN programs. I live in Redlands so I'm looking into the San Bernardino program. I want more experience and need to work before I go for my BSN and I figure I can do the LVN to BSN. I am 25 and I have a 15 month old son so you and I are both young enough to pursue our career! I’m going in to Concorde on Monday!

I too am looking into Concorde's LVN program. I am wondering if you started and how is it going? Is it a good school? Thanks

That is a very good point! I guess I am trying to figure out where to start. It just seems like such a long process at a CC, after completing all the req general Ed then its on to a waiting list or a lottery!! UGH sometimes I feel throwing in the towel! I take my HESI enterance exam this Saturday for WCU we'll see how that goes ... How long did it take you to get into the nursing program??

Hey everyone, I've been looking into the BSN program at WCU in Ontario but I am very spectacle to pursue because they are not WASC accredited and their NCLEX passing rates are very low, I understand that it is a fairly new program but I am taking everything into consideration! My ultimate goal is to achieve my CRNA degree. Most of the CC in my area are already in session. So I am looking into a LVN program at a vocational school i.e. Concorde, ACC or Summit (inland empire area). My questions are: * Any inside advice from current or pervious students from the schools I mention above (pros and cons) * Anyone know if the vocational schools are WASC accredited? * Has anyone pursued a LVN to BSN program from one of these schools? * Any advice on volunteering at hospitals outside of school to gain more experience, will it increase my percent of finding employment as a new grad? Please any info will help. I am new to this web site and I hoping to be in the correct area for some help. As you can see I am also new to the nursing field. So any tips to lead me in a successful path will be appreciated!:)
