I know VCC is the best college for LPN but the waiting list is too long. I am under EI now so I am thinking the following schools.

Sprott-Shaw
Vancouver Career College
Canadian Health Care Academy

Please let me know which private school has a better name in the field. Question

Thanks a lot!

Canadian Health Care Academy is the best of the choices. The class sizes are small so you get more one on one with the instructors and you get a free laptop with your tuition.

I would avoid private schools if i were you, I'm not trying to put a negative image towards the private schools, it's just it's far way too much, ( although you are on e.i and it's paid for) I think you should go to school further out of town, like in kelowna, or vancouver island, depending on your situation. Private schools don't have the best reputation. I'm going to okanagon

Before you decide - take a look at how the students from that facility place on the National exam - did everyone pass? Were there lots of students who didn't pass? That can perhaps help you in your decision about a facility.
I know in my class there was one who did not pass the 1st time - language difficulties but that same person passed just find on the second try.
Good luck in your decisions
Cheers
