@rksgray13 by agency you mean Nursing Temporary Agency right? lol sorry if its a stupid question. And also may I ask where you live since you said that the agencies around you always have something... Thank you

College of Nursing and Allied Health School would be very difficult to get into, as they accept only 30 students and I am sure a lot of people apply, plus you have to be a resident exclusively to the LA County. MSMC Tuition is 35000. And lol I will decide on a school when I get accepted to that school. But I am looking at Career Colleges outside of California, where I can do it faster, and get accepted faster as well. Now It might not fully accredited but I will take my chances to hold the RN License.

Thank you so very much, Parker. Highly appreciate your responce.

please answer my question guys

All the schools I am looking at are providing Financial Aid and they are accredited in other areas, I am just wondering will I be able to work in any state or its just that if a program is accredited only through its board, I will not be able to work under any board but that particular state's board..

congrats studentljinca can I ask you how difficult is it to get into this program at Grossmont..I am thinking about applying for 2012 fall.

Okay so I have literally searched over a hundred different schools, any damn where in United States, I just want to do it as soon as possible. I have looked into some of the best and most reputable such as Mount Saint Mary College and something awful like San Brown Institute. The crazy part is Mount Saint Mary College is not NLNAC accredited. I was Shocked to see that. With further research I found out that many cal states and even ucla is not accredited through NLNAC, I might be wrong feel free to correct me, but all of them say approved by board of nursing california and so on. So My question is: What if I attend a school which is only approved by the Board of Nursing of that particular state, and pass my Nclex-RN, will I be able to work in Seattle or outside of that particular state? (because that is my dream destination to live) Is only the RN license required to get work in any state? I heard that you can go to school wherever but when you register for the test you can put seattle, is that correct? (i think it isn't) Plzplz answer these questions thank you!

Hey I am also looking at both schools. I have heard MSMC is a great school, I attended their Information Session, they have loads of General Education requirements. Tuition is about 35000 for the entire program. let me know if you need anymore information

Hello Nurses, this is my first post here. I am a 19 year old guy, living in Southern California. I am done with all of my pre-reqs and the following are my grades in these classes. A&P I = B A&P II = A Microbiology = B Developmental Psychology = B I am also done with all the usual support courses, but because I used to not be a great student before I got Cs in those classes. [2 Years in Cal State San Bernardino] Now I am looking for schools and trying to figure out which option should I consider taking, and would love your guy's advice on this. Problem is I have done great in science pre-reqs and am willing to take even more, but don't have a good cumulative GPA. So for this reason I am open to doing LVN first and then doing my RN. But I can't understand which route to take. Should I go to a good RN Private school and which one? Should I do LVN at stupid private small schools like Concorde which is starting in October or should I apply to a lot of Adult and ROP schools and try to get in Spring? [second option will waste almost 9 months; during these 9 months I can do more pre-reqs and do chemistry, nutrition, and get grades up] In the past 2 weeks, I have looked into almost 30 different programs, my no.1 goal is to complete my RN in the next 2 years. I feel like I am ready and extremely determined. Now with this kind of goal, I do not want to sit around on a wait list or wait for a program to start. So I am therefore thinking about doing LVN and then LVNtoRN. I would really appreciate if you guys could share your experiences and advices on which route I should take and what kinds of schools will accept a student with strong science grades but low support courses grades for both RN and LVN programs. For now I am hoping to get into any of the two, but I want to definitely start on it as soon as possible. Thank you so much for reading!
