LVN Program at CAREER POINT COLLEGE in San Antonio.. Has anyone gone there?

I just got accepted to the LVN program at Career Point for the November 22nd, 2010 start date. I'm a little concerned about the price, it's $25,000 or so for the first year! That's an average of about $500 per credit hour, which is about 2 times as much as it is at San Antonio College, however there are no prerequisite classes that you have to complete to get in, anatomy and physiology and medical term. are all included in the program. So I guess it equals out? It'd take about 5 semesters at SAC, (2.5 years) and exactly 12 months at Career Point. I'm a little worried though, this program is accredited by the Texas Board of Nursing, but not the NLNAC, but I can still sit for the NCLEX-PN when I graduate. I'm worried about not being able to transfer to a community college or university to get an ADN or BSN after this. Gotta research that. Man, I'm babbling, I guess what I need is someone who's attended this program, or a nurse that has graduated from a comparable LVN program to let me know what's up. I know this college is for-profit, so they want my money, I get that, but I'm worried I'm not gonna get the education I need. Also, if you've gone here, I would like info about the clinical sites. Thanks!

So tomorrow's the big day.. anyone else going?

WOW! THAT'S SOOOO EXPENSIVE!!!!!!

In Florida you can be a LVN for $7,000.0 total and they are ACCREDITED schools!!!!
Check this schools: Erwin Institute and Medical Prep Institute.

Career Point is accredited. Man, I almost forgot about this post. Hahaha, I remember pouring through these posts right before starting and being so enthusiastic. What an idiot, lol. I don't mean that I regret doing homework on CPC. I don't know, I think if I had to make the decision again, I'd go the community college route. Yeah, I am getting close to graduation, but I'm one of 9 left from the 34 that started the day after my last post. And the other 22 still have to pay tuition. Just yesterday, my friend failed out of 2 classes, and they're making him wait 8 weeks before starting again. I'm sure the wait period is in place so that hopefully he won't come back and they'll collect all that financial aide, which is, needless to say, a little f***** up. This school is predatory and I would advise anyone who's considering going to do some SERIOUS soul searching and ask, is the 66% chance you'll drop out worth $25,000? Email me if you have any questions. billythekid20@live.com

Your friend is an idiot! He's lucky they let him come back. I don't know of anyone else who failed two classes and got to return! And I find it sad that only 9 of you are left. It's not the teachers it's the students...If you study and read the way you should there's no reason to not pass. I was a full-time student and mom going to CPC. I didn't study half as much as I should have and never made less then a B. The hardest class you have to take is Med-Surg. I even had Mrs. Mora who is not an easy teacher but when I sat for that exam I can assure you I was thankful for every moment she pushed us. I graduated in Cohort 9 and everyone from our class that's taken boards so far has passed. I would agree though that people should do some soul searching before beginning this or any other nursing program. I don't know about you but I would prefer that when I go to the doctors office I had a nurse who worked hard, didn't make excuses, and passed all there classes and exam the first time.

SN: No matter what school they go to if they don't complete the program they have to repay the loans. Also, CPC gives them the option to transfer over to another program and apply the loans to that if they flunk out.
