I would agree that the community college system is the cheapest way to get started. I can't say from experience which school has the better health education program, but, do the research to find out which ones have the program you need. Don't neglect to check out the programs at De Anza, Mission, West Valley, and Foothill colleges. Once you are IN the programs, and begin to approach your AS degree, you can learn about transfering credits and the nursing programs at University, such as San Jose State, Stanford, Santa Clara or wherever. Believe me, a BS in nursing is like gold. With that, you can work pretty much anywhere you want. A slightly faster track would be to a private, secondary school like Bryman or others, but this route is costly. And, not all the credits you earn at such schools are transferable to a four year college.

I agree Evergreen is the best one in the area. The hard thing going on right now is that all the schools have a really long wait time. But before you can apply for the program you must have your pre-recs done. My advise is to go see a counselor so they can tell you exactly what you need to take. And yes A BS is nice but you can still work anywhere with an AS. Just in the future if you want to go into management you'll need your BS. If not an AS will do you just fine. At my hospital we don't hire you over someone else just because you have a BS.
