Just wanted to bring new program to people's attention. Western Governors University is starting a new BSN program in SoCal. The first clinical group will be starting in July 09 and the second group will start in Jan 10. If one is a working CNA or LVN and has a two year or four year degree they are eligible to apply to the program. As of this date, they have clinical sites at five hospitals, including Cedars-Sinai in LA. Very reasonable in cost: $4250 every 6 months, with expected completion at two years. Looks like it will be a very reasonable alternative to impacted local nursing programs. Info at Western Governors University
