hi everyone

i am about to start LVN program at kaolan college san diego

it is going to cost me 33 008.00 $ which is a lot of money i did aplly for grant and loan

it gonna be 15 months full time courses

do u think it worth it!!!????

IMO, that is too high a price. I am starting my 12-month ABSN program and the program you mention costs a bit more than mine. Good luck.

I didn't pay close to that for a BSN at my state college. If I had the choice between spending 10s of thousands of dollars extra, and waiting until next year to apply I think I would find something else to do for a year!

i would implore you to look into community colleges!

i am paying 4000 for my lpv/lvn at a local community college, and that includes books!

i was accepted at my first application, but i had a 4.0 gpa and high test scores. you should take your pre-requisites first, which are generally taken into high consideration for acceptance.

most colleges do not have a "waiting list" per se, their process is to accept the most qualified applicants. this may mean that some individuals with less than stellar gpa's must apply a few times.

You can take pre requisite classes online through the community college system.

Yeah im from Tennessee find a technical school like here we have Tn tech which is a technical school that has multiple programs. Also we have a career center here that will help you pay for school. Try searching around there should be plenty of options out there.

There is an ROP program in Orange country (North Orange County ROP) which is a little drive away from you but it is less than 5000 to become an LVN (everything included, books, gowns, clinicals). PM gofieRN she went through this program and can tell you some information about it. I know there are a bunch of ROP programs for LVN in the OC area... That's crazy expensive I am starting a 3 year MSN program in the fall and it doesn't cost that much. Btw I agree with some of the other posts it is difficult to find LVN jobs especially in southern cal right now so the less debt you can take on because of school the better. And I know you want to get started right away and not wait, but you might want to think about maybe waiting a till fall to get started. If you waited you would be giving the economy and extra 8 months or so to turn around. I am guessing if you knew for sure waiting an extra 8 months would give you a better opportunity to find a job it would be worth it. Anyway just my 2 cents. Good luck with whatever decision you make.

SC also has technical colleges. These are 18 mos to 2 year programs in the main. The specialize in getting right to the point in educating LPNs, RNs, Dental Technicians and Hygienists etc. Most equal or exceed the standard of any University in the state.

33k is way too much to pay IMO.
