Florida Hospital College RN-to-BSN

I live here in Orlando FL and can tell you that the Florida Hospital College of Health Sciences is owned and operated by one of the largest hospital networks here in Central FL. I know several people who have graduated from their campus program and really loved it. Their hospitals are excellent and have taken care of my family for many years.

If they offered an on-line ASN program I would be there in a heartbeat!

I am a current student!!!!!!!!!! I was wondering if anyone else on allnurses even knew about this program. I researched it last spring. I had to drop my classes with UOP online due to the cost. I loved UOP's format, classes, etc. but was struggling financially. You know the drill: work full time, married, 3 kids, 2 cars, house, etc. Anyway, I have completed a few classes and am taking Chemistry and world religions this fall. My hope is that they will have their MSN program ready to go by the time I finish this BSN. Feel free to PM me or contact me at my regular email address if you have any questions.

Hope you don't mind me message you as well.

Here is a link for those that are interested.

No, I am not enrolled in this program. I just provided a link because no one else did. I am currently enrolled with Deaconess and I am in my last semester of the pn component.

I was curious about the Florida Hospital program. I read that they are involved with the College Network. I thought College Network was some sort of "Rue" type thing. Anybody know what exactly the College Network is?

My spouse got his maters through the College Network. I'm not sure how it worked but he started with them and got his degree through a school in Omaha that was excellent. For him it was a positive, although very expensive experience.

I've decided to apply to Florida Hospital thanks this BB! The advisor assigned to me was very good and answered my questions and said he would be in close contact with me throught the process. This is much more individualized attention than I was receiving from St. Petersburg College.

What I liked was that it's all internet and NLN accredited. St. Petersburg College where I am taking coreq classes now presumes you have time and desire to go out into the community and work with families, and in public health. He did say to get their NLN approval we are required to spend some time with a supervisor/manager in the last semester. That I can handle. What I'm going to have trouble with is the expense, but it's relatively cheap compared to other on-line degrees, but much more expensive than St. Pete College is.

I start next semester! Wish me luck!
