SRJC/LVN-Can someone tell me what you typical week looks like at this school? Website says 4-5 days in class and about 25 hours of study time. Are you finding this to be your schedule? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the comments. Yes, I am in California. Just trying to sort out which program will work best. I have all prerequistes done for both programs. My biggest problem is the RN program has a cut score of 80%, I have 78%. I can boost this up by retaking a course, if I retake English (I got a B several years ago) and get an A I will definetly make the cut. But, I can also apply fro the LVN and probably get in first try because its not filling up, from what I've heard. However, maybe I just need to retake a course, be patient and hope I get in the RN soon. But if I don't I feel I will be wasting time waiting to get in the RN. My main goal is to be an RN one way or another. I also don't have many options with trying different schools, one is within 10 minutes the others 40+ minutes. I normally wouldn't mind but having two small children would make a commute like this almost impossible. Thanks for listening, any more insight is appreciated.

I've heard that the RN program is significantly harder than the LVN but I've also heard that they are equally difficult. Any insight would be appreciated. Just trying to see what program would work better from me considering I have two small children. RN or BSN is the end goal but I don't mind taking a little longer to be successful.
