I basically have to take all of the pre-req's. I'm not enrolled in anything right now for the spring semester. And I don't think I can get them all out of the way this summer during my summer vacation (I am a teacher.) But I am at least going to get ...
I would be careful with that. What if the school doesn't pass the accreditation process by the time *you* are ready to graduate? This happened in Orlando with Barry University law school. People enrolled and started taking classes for their law degre...
Don't feel bad, I didn't notice the dates on those posts either until I got to the very end and saw the moderator's comments. LOL My eyebrows went up too when I saw someone say you could get a house here for $120,000! :roll :chuckle :smilecoffeecup:

Reading some of the posts on this thread has given me strength. I am currently working 50-60 hour weeks as a public school teacher; and am scheduled to start night school for LPN this fall. I have been very apprehensive about the idea of how I would ...
I passed the NET reading/math sections with flying colors. I bombed the "test taking skills" part. ("frustration" level) Ha! Let's see if the powers that be can figure that one out. .....
I agree... think twice about where you end up buying. The coasts are where a lot of the insurance increases are taking place because the coast takes direct hits during hurricanes. I am in Orlando and not in a flood zone.... my house insurance is $1,...

Cassiesky, do you know when the program filled up? I would love to go straight for my RN through this program, but it's doubtful I would be able to get through all of the prerequisites in time to apply. I wish they started it more often than once a ...
Thanks -- you are right! Thanks for the reminder. I am trying to stay focused on that. This is going to be a great year. Just think, by the end of this year, how much more progress we all will have made toward our goals. Plus along the way we will ...
I am relatively new to this, but based on my research, the only way you can get out of the pre-requisites is to go straight to LPN school. All you need to get into LPN school is to pass the NET (nursing entrance exam) test and a couple of other exam...

Ladybella, I am in the same boat. I would love it if I could just afford to quit teaching this May, and go straight to work for a hospital. I haven't really researched this because my sense is, it would be difficult to match my current teaching salar...
:groupwelcome: As a fellow teacher who is pursuing a career change into nursing, may I just say HEAR, HEAR! :yelclap: We teachers are very familiar with 12 hour shifts. Unlike nurses however, we only get paid for 7 or 8 hours of work on a 12 hour ...
