There are 7 accredited LVN programs in San Diego County. 3 of those programs are located in the CITY of San Diego. There is also one in Santee, one in Oceanside, two in Chula Vista, and one in National City.
4 of the programs are at private colleges, 2 are at community colleges, and 1 is at Grossmont Adult School.
All 7 programs are approved by California's Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT). The BVNPT is California's governing body that approves vocational nursing schools. Any LVN program you attend MUST be approved by the BVNPT.
The programs at the 4 private colleges usually have no waiting lists, and few, if any, prerequisites. However, they are almost always more expensive. Most private programs offer financial aid of some type.
The community college LVN programs usually have a few prerequisites, may have waiting lists, and typically take longer to complete. The upside is, community colleges are more affordable that the private programs.
