I will tell him that when he gets home. Thanks Penny.Apparently in Samuel Merrit and most of the private schools that I talked to, they don't take people who have bachelors already on their Undergraduate Nursing Program. I guess they only take fresh grad highschool students. They have the ABSN (Accelerated BAchelor of Science in Nursing) which is a very extensive 12-month program available for individuals like me who has a non-nursing degree. They still have to evaluate your transcripts and see from there. I have an appointment next week. Keeping my fingers crossed. I will check Unitek. Thanks Peny.

Thanks for the info/suggestion guys! One of the VA rep did advice me to get the pre reqs from the school where I planned of attending since, the pre reqs varies from school to school. I will be meeting with the school counselor from Samuel Merrit and hoping I could qualify for the ABSN program.

Hi! Thank goodness for this site. We just moved to the Bay area, and I am going to use my DH's G.I Bill to go to a nursing school. Tried calling some CC but they have very long waiting list, and a private school that I contacted wouldn't accept me since I have a degree (foreign/non-nursing) already. The VA is only giving me 4 years to finish it staring this month, so time is really of essence. Anybody knows of a nursing program in the Bay area that doesn't have a long waiting list? I would really appreciate it.
