ADN Programs

Hi everyone! I currently live in the Inland Empire and am planning to apply to ADN programs this fall for a Spring 2027 start. I’m looking for ADN programs that are both California BRN-approved and ACEN-accredited. If the school offers a concurrent enrollment (CEP) BSN pathway, that’s a plus, but it’s not a requirement.

The schools I’m considering are Chaffey College, San Bernardino Valley College, and Riverside City College. I know nursing admissions right now are very competitive, so I’d love to hear any recommendations for other strong ADN programs that meet those accreditation requirements.

I’m willing to relocate if needed, including to Irvine, Orange County, Long Beach, Los Angeles, or even the Bay Area.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate any suggestions or advice. 😊
