I am desiring to work in the health care field since it is in demand. I want to become an RN. I don’t want to go to a community college as they can be time consuming. I want to go directly for my career at a Vocational School. Does any one know of any vocational schools that have the RN program available in california?

Here is a list of approved and accredited RN programs in California: http://rn.ca.gov/schools/rnprograms.shtml
And you will probably need to do your LVN first, then go into an LVN to RN program.

You could look through this list of CSU campuses:
http://www.calstate.edu/app/programs/nursing/nursing_programs.shtml
Southern California is a big place! (Makes it a bit difficult to recommend with all the choices, both public and private)
CSU Fullerton: http://nursing.fullerton.edu/ADN-BSNCampus/Default.aspx
CSU Long Beach http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/chhs/departments/nursing/programs/NursingBachelorProgram.htm
You also have the option of beginning your nursing studies at a community college (2 years) and then transferring to complete the BSN (2 more years)
There are some excellent private colleges to choose from:
Mount St. Mary’s http://www.msmc.la.edu/undergraduate-bachelor-programs/nursing.asp
Azusa Pacific http://www.apu.edu/nursing/
To locate other college options you could use

Answer by Amber Marie
Well to become a nurse you will have to pass the State Board Exam. Nursing is state regulated, so the qualifications are different state. E mail the board and ask what qualifications you would need to transfer your license from Arizona. They usually try to make it as easy as possible for you, but you may need to take the California boards or get any other required schooling of certification. But the board would know and are happy to help.
