I went there in Ontario I personally think it's way overpriced you can go to a community college and get your Lvn for way cheaper !!!and finding a job after is more on you also

thank you so very much for your answer!

Do you think it was a good program? I know its very overpriced but from the times for the classes it is the best possible solution to me. Did you stay an LVN? is it possible to get an AA degree later on? can i transfer those classes into any program?

Honestly I wouldn't go there again it's too expensive the teachers are just there for check they don't care about you ,after if you can even find a Lvn job you won't be able to pay that huge 30,000 that they are charging trust me I wish I went straight for my rn now I'm still a new nurse struggling to get my 1 year experience ,they really don't help you find a job after its hard for a new grad to get a job realistically unless u have 1 years experience unless u wanna be stuck doing graveyard home health I was even trying to find nursing home job they all want experience I'm struggling myself I worked in a elementary school as Lvn for 6 months then they didn't renew my contract I got so lucky to even get that job the pay isn't that great for that kind of tution unless u are gonna look for work outside of the inland empire and don't go there for how quick it is for the program that's why I went there it takes a good six months after u graduate to for your nclex date and license to come you can't work until you have your license in hand ,but that's why I said u should go to community and do it the cheaper way just trying to let you know what I woulda done !good luck!!!

Later on I plan to bridge to Lvn to adn once I have a year Med surg experience is the application requirement at colleges if you want your associates degree you have to still get all your preq anyway so might as well go for rn it's up to you
