1. Centura vs. Orlando Tech LPN

   intehflames replied to Dianas1086's topic in Florida

   I'm a current OTech LPN student. OTech is not fancy at all (and that's all I'm gonna say about that, lol) but it's a good bang for your buck.. I wouldn't spend a ton of money at a private school for an LPN degree. I looked up Centura's website and th...

2. January 2010 starts

   intehflames replied to plaza's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I started on January 25. I am learning a lot but the program I'm in seems kind of disorganized. We start on our first nursing home clinicals in two weeks, and I don't feel prepared at all. We only have access to our skills lab on Fridays (the upper-l...

   Thanks. :) That helps out a lot. I'll see y'all there tomorrow. Name is Gina and I have red hair, if that will help you recognize me, hah.

4. Orlando Tech LPN January 2009

   intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida

   Does anyone know if Orlando Tech is open at all tomorrow (12/31, New Years' Eve)? I need to buy a parking garage sticker.. that lady at orientation said we're not allowed to park in the visitors' parking lot out front once we become students.. and I...

5. Orlando Tech LPN January 2009

   intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida

   I was there at the orientation as well. I agree that the lady was a bit disorganized with her information. Do we have to wear our uniform the first day of school (January 5) or not? At least the program is only 10 months. Just think, we'll be gradua...

   Sometime this month. I'll let you guys know as soon as I receive mine.

   intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida

   Thanks for the info Onmyway. I've heard the same thing about new grad RN's having a tough time finding work in FL. Honestly, I think an LPN may have a better chance of getting a job and getting their foot in the door somewhere.. due to all of the re...

   intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida

   Has anyone received their orientation invitation letters in the mail yet? I'm pretty sure when I turned in my packet the receptionist said they'd be mailing out letters in October but I haven't received one yet.. and I'm kind of worried about it sinc...

9. LPN program private loans

   intehflames posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I'm going to be attending a full-time LPN program in January. I can't get a pell grant because the government says my father makes too much money (I'm 22). My school, a technical school, does not accept federal Stafford loans. My school is not listed...

10. WIA for LPN school

    intehflames replied to **~pouty~**'s topic in Florida

    I e-mailed Central Florida WIA on Friday and still haven't received a response back. I wanted to know if I could get the job search requirement waived, seeing as I will be attending a full-time LPN program. If they haven't emailed me back tomorrow I...

11. Orlando Tech LPN January 2009

    intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida

    LPN program in 10 1/2 weeks? I don't think that's possible anywhere.. lol. I do know you can test out of some of the basic classes if you hold a CNA license, or so I've heard. Are you planning on taking RN pre-reqs AND going to Orlando Tech full-tim...

12. Orlando Tech LPN January 2009

    intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida

    Oh man. I don't think I could do that. That's going to be hell on you. I plan on trying to work only on the weekends to ensure I have enough time to study and focus on school during the week. Meaning I'll be even more dirt poor than I am now.. but I...

    intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida

    My name is Gina. :) Yeah, I'm just worried about class time rolling around and not having the funds to pay for school. I asked the lady at financial aid when tuition is due and she said it wasn't due until you "register".. which is the first day of c...

14. Central FL WIA to pay for LPN program..

    intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida

    Ah, that's good. I think I will call them up tomorrow and ask them about it. My financial aid advisor really didn't tell me much about the program.. just gave me a flier with the URL on it and told me to check it out. :/ I hope I can at least get a l...

15. Central FL WIA to pay for LPN program..

    intehflames posted a topic in Florida

    I'm curious if anyone has used Workforce Central Florida's WIA program to help pay tuition for their LPN. One part I don't understand is that they make you apply for 10 jobs as a part of the application process? I'm doing it because I want to try to ...
