RN schools

I've got a BA in an unrelated field, so I'm not interested in getting a BSN at this point, Just my RN.

Does anyone know of a good school in Orange County, CA or Austin, TX which has a part or full time RN program? Do they all have the prereq's, or do any of them allow you to take them in the program?

West Coast University has 3 campuses in SoCal that include all the prereqs, but the tuition is extremely expensive. Galen is a school in San Antonio with a private RN program that includes all prereqs.

My advice would be not to rule out BSN programs too quickly. I found that many Universities offer BSN programs for people that already hold BAs that are actually quicker than the ADN programs.

Austin, of course, has UT. I'm sure there is a community college associated with a university of that size as well.

Ever think about Arizona? They'll cover the entire cost of tuition if you commit to a couple of years working. Not bad...

I did think of UT at Austin, but theirs is a alternative entry MSN program for BA holders. Otherwise, you're starting from scratch for the BSN program. But I do like the school...

I haven't considered AZ. Which program would you recommend??? :yeah:

I'd try U of A in Tucson. Tucson is a pretty nice town, very livable. And the medical center associated with the university is a level 1 trauma, magnet hospital.

This link has some details about the program as well as the waved tuition.

This is great info. I can't seem to get around the prerequisite courses! So hard to take while working full time and mothering 2 little ones!
