1. TECO

   Chanzes MiMi replied to John--RN's topic in Florida

   I had a combined 18 yrs experience as a CNA in LTC and as a Tech in hospitals, AND an EMT. It made no difference when applying as an LPN. While the patient care aspect is good to have for you to be more comfortable in the field, it doesn't count, as...

4. TECO

   Chanzes MiMi replied to John--RN's topic in Florida

   I graduated from TECO (LPN31!) in July '08. It is very difficult, but thats why so many of the students pass NCLEX. We started with 30 students & 14 graduated 11 months later. Some chose not to complete the program, others fail out. You cannot...

5. LPN schools near Orlando?

   Chanzes MiMi replied to lane88's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   You can go to the library and check a study guide out for the TABE. I graduated in '85 and was concerned, but I went thru the guide, and passed the first time. Heres a link with a free study guide also : http://www.studyguidezone.com/tabetest.htm

   No you don't. Its by school schedule [quarter?] they will give you a payment fee schedule, so you will know from the start whats due when.

   It is a very good program. I drove 30 miles one way to attend. I would chose TECO again if I had to do it over. I never had a problem with the area the school is in. It is close to the Florida Turnpike if that helps with travel for you.

    I highly recommend their LPN also. (July 2008 Grad here !) Its really easy to miss, but on their website they have a link for the admission packet for LPN -http://www.teco.osceola.k12.fl.us/programs/health/NursingPacket.pdf Fulltime classes begin ev...

11. Looking to attend LPN school online in Lake Wales Fl

    Chanzes MiMi replied to jburkeg's topic in Florida

    Sorry about being incorrect the wait list. TECO doesnt even go on the point system. If you qualify, and pass the interview, you are accepted.

    Chanzes MiMi replied to jburkeg's topic in Florida

    I do not believe there are any online LPN classes in Florida. Here is a link to the approved programs in Florida http://flahec.org/hlthcareers/lpn.htm I attended TECO in Kissimmee. They usually do not have a waiting list for the LPN program, unlike ...

13. LPN programs in Central Florida

    Chanzes MiMi replied to intehflames's topic in Florida

    Another Kissimmee TECO grad here. Usually no waiting list, as long as you qualify. A challanging program, but myself and all classmates passed Nclex first time.

14. LPN schools near Orlando?

    Chanzes MiMi replied to lane88's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    If Kissimmee isnt too far of a drive, try TECO (Technical Education Center of Osceola). I graduated from their LPN program in July '08, and my class had a 100% pass rate for NCLEX. There is no waiting list , but you do need to take the TABE (12.0 ...

    Chanzes MiMi replied to ***Blessed***'s topic in NCLEX

    I took the Nclex PN Wed 10/08, shut off at 85 also. Alot of prioritizing on mine. And unknown drugs. Walked out of Pearson in a daze, called a former classmate, and started crying. I thought there was NO WAY I had passed.Was already formulating a ne...
