California s CC prices are extremely affordable. When I started my nursing pre reqs at Los Angeles Valley College (which was a 10 minute walk from my apartment) I was paying $20 per credit. Now its around $40

I would say just take the classes at a California CC. Ultimately I found myself on a 5 year waiting list for their nursing program. And its tiered by your grades in the sciences... and nearly everyone has As in everything. So you may find becoming a nurse "faster" in another state and you can return to California when you're done. I think Drexel has a 12 month program and Thomas Edison has a 15 month program. Keep in mind that many of these programs, including the military's nursing/pre med program and Thomas Edison will not accept Portage Learning so do your research before you spend money on classes that might actuAlly be more expensive than the California CC. Interestingly, Thomas Edison does not take Portage Leaning but they now take straighterline sciences (because they're honestly better). I have to say, the CC system in California was fantastic. Great teachers and a great value considering you can easily transfer your credits to a UC. There's an old British saying, "In the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty."
WGU if off the table for you unless you have family or close friends in one of the states they have clinical spots in.
