Hi,
What are the easiest/fastest ADN programs to get into in California? I’m still interested in BSN, MEPN, ABSN ect programs, however, the RN to BSN is another route available.
My local community college, Butte College, can be a 3 year wait for a lottery, although it is not merit-based. I know community college ADN programs in California can either be lottery or merit-based, or even both (like one I saw in Sacramento).
I can wait, though, because I have Pell, Cal, and SUP grants!

I’m in Northern California, by Chico, so I would prefer community colleges up here or nearby. For most programs, I have all of the pre-reqs completed. I have a 3.8 GPA cumulative, around 3.6/3.7 science pre-req, 83% TEAS cumulative and around 90%+ on the English and Math portions of HESI (bad in science area).
Thanks for any help!
