LPN to RN School in Tampa Fl


Hi Everyone,
I am currently an LPN student here in Tampa. I was wondering if there's anyone out there who can tell me where is the best school around here to bridge over my LPN course to RN?
Also, does anyone know what is the starting salary for LPN around here? I don't live close to Metro area I am about 40 miles north of Tampa and Clearwater. Please advise.

Thanks for your help,
Chloe

Thank you for your reply Angie O'Plasty. But I was wondering if anyone know of a certain school that is pretty organize in their curriculum for RN since I am planning to bridge over my LPN to RN. Where I am going to school now for LPN is not organized at all. All of us in the class feels like we are doing a self study class just to learn everything we need. And we don't want to have this same experience if possible when we bridge this over to
RN. I would appreciate anyone's advice.

Thank you,
Chloe Narcisse

Well.....I am 52, a respiratory therapist, and enrolled in a Tampa LPN school. These days, learning is on a computer because the lessons are uniform and exam-driven like the FCAT drives our public school lessons as well. It's predictable and changes are tested to be effective. I am an old hippy and still have my humanity standards from the 70's, but gotta admit the good of it. An RN program will have alot more of what I think you want. I suggest you might want to stick to career schools like Keiser for the modes and methods.
