Where and how to find oud the lowest cost for LVN/LPN Private schools?

[grandville]

Dear friends,

We really need information about the much lower-cost LVN/LPN private schools (not a community college or government-funded school) especially in California, if any.

You know in California the average tuition of a 1 year LVN program now is above $20,000. No wonder many people think twice and keep searching for other States to find the same type of LVN/LPN schools, but have 50% to 65% off.

The reasons we don't ask non-private schools are because of time management, family, waiting lists & competition (for entrance test) due to limitation of maximum-students allowed, possible Leave of Absence, etc.

I heard that in some States, it only costs abt $8,000 to $12,000 in total for this 1 year LVN/LPN program. We've been searching but still don't find accurate information.

Would you please share any information including the address, web and phone # regarding private LVN/LPN schools that offer us the possible lowest tuition?

Thanks in advance.

Hello!

$20,000 for LPN... OUCH! I really don't have any suggestions except possibly contacting the State Board of Nursing or the ANA. They might either have the info or point you in the right direction. As far as waiting lists go... a lot of colleges have them because of the nursing shortage.

I wish you the best of luck and remember to keep hopeful. I wish you the best of luck!
