I'm thinking about attending either the Unitek College in Santa Clara, or the Carrington College in San Jose, LVN programs. Has anyone successfully completed these programs and placed at a hospital, and what was your starting salary? I'm concerned about the accreditation and finding work when I graduate. There are so many different accreditation organizations, I don't know which ones I should go for and which ones I should stay away from. I don't have the luxury of time to wait for a jr college 2+ year wait list. Help!

Unitek College and Carrington are very expensive and I believe is a one year fast pace program. I completed the LVN program at NCP in Hayward in eighteen months for little less money.
