Tanya. This is Dan. If you don't want to spend money. Just go to Mission College and ask a counselor to help you.Mission College has a pilot program with Cabrillo College and cheaper way to get you RN without getting sponsorship. You probably have to take the microbiology in Mission College.then apply in RN program. There are 2 more semester after completing microbiology and you are done.You don't have to spend a lot of money probably at least 4 to 5 thousand dollars compared to a private school (28k) just time and preseverance only.bye.e-mail me back if you got time.

I have completed all my prerequisites in order to be accepted into an LVN or RN program. The only problem is all the community colleges in my area have ridiculous wait lists of up to three years just to get into the LVN program. Would anyone happen to know a good private college in the Inland Empire area where I can finish my schooling quick?

Additonal information from the healthcare job fair:

Also, there will be a new private school coming to Ontario that will have a LVN to RN program called West Coast University est 1909.
Their website is: www.westcoastuniversity.edu

I am not aware of the cost or their reputation but you should be prepare to pay quite a bit for a private institution.

Try Indiana State University. You can do a LPN-RN or BSN online through them.

Why don't you CLEP out of those subjects. You can definitely CLEP out of math, English and chemistry. You'll need to study for an exam and it costs I think about $60. www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/about.html

Will the college accept an online class? I mean there are some offered online I think cause I need micro and anatomy also. I know Excelsior offers those classes online, I just am not sure if they are accepted everywhere.
