Hi, I have been attending CSULB for 2.5 years. To be honest, I have never been sure what I wanted to do, but if I just had to decide right away nursing would have always been my first choice. Since I never was 100% sure, my major was undeclared. For these 2.5 years I have been mainly working, taking my GE courses, and a few pre-nursing pre req's. I am almost done with my GE. My grades are not the best, but not very bad either. I have finally decided and currently changing my major to pre-nursing, but along the way I was talking to a advisor and it seems that my chances to get into their BSN Pre-nursing program is very slim.
Very depressing news, so I am thinking about going to take another route to start off as an LVN then get into a LVN - RN program. I have been saving up money and am thinking about private colleges.

For those in the SoCal areas I was thinking LVN at Stanbridge College in Irvine, CA and then possibly the LVN - RN program at Azusa Pacific University.

I really just need to get everything together right now. It is greatly appreciated for your kind input and help.

Thank You!

Welcome to the site! Good luck on LPN school. There's nothing wrong with that. True, schools have a high required GPA average, but with an LPN, you'll get some experience along the way.

Stop by often, ya hear?

what are the downsides of going this route other than $$$$?
