Good Luck with School Originally Posted by Marcee_29 Hi, I'm an LPN student graduating in Feb. I currently live in NW Ohio will be moving to Bradenton/Sarasota area in June. Husband is already there, I'm waiting to graduate and kids done with school. If anyone has info on the school systems and places for employment, I would be more than willing to listen.
Hi Marcee .... Florida is a beautiful State with lots to offer many different types of people. For nurses, there is plenty of different and unique opportunities for employment. Florida still offers LPN's many opportunities in the hospital environment, if that is what you are looking for. Wages are pretty low in the Sarasota/Bradenton area, but in time, your wages do improve.
I just moved from Sarasota after living there for better than 20 years. My kids were in the Sarasota County School District and for the most part, the schools were ok. For me, I felt the local residents, many of which are retired, did not support the school system very well. They felt as though they had raised their kids and they did not feel an large obligation to the local kids. Unfortunately, for them, these kids will grow up to be the doctors, bankers, lawyers, nurses, teachers, etc of the future. This was discouraging to me, but overall, the area is lovely and there are many nice things to do. If you like the beaches, there is really none better than Sarasota, except for perhaps the keys!
Good luck with school and with your move.
winter.
