  1. Okay, I'll be the first...Keiser University.

    It does like they are approved by the FLBON, but they are not accredited by the nursing agencies ACEN and CCNE. Many employers will not hire students from schools without these accreditations, and many universities will not accept these schools for ...
  2. Okay, I'll be the first...Keiser University.

    I would not go to Kaplan. Their program is not accredited by the ACEN (NLNAC). It's difficult to get a job or get accepted into RN-BSN programs if you don't graduate from an accredited school. As far as FSCJ vs. Keiser, you need to weigh the pros a...
  3. Should I try LPN school?

    ABSN is great if you have have a competitive GPA. In my area, competitive means at least a 3.75 overall GPA and an 85% on the TEAS. ASN programs are almost as competitive and/or there is a 2 year wait list. The LPN program entry is based on your T...
  4. Did being unattractive hurt your career?

    When I had my youngest son one year ago, my L&D nurse had an intimidating appearance. In reality, she was so wonderful and went above and beyond to help me safely achieve a VBAC. She was an angel.
  5. 9/1 Prelicensure B.S.N Florida Cohort

    I actually just spoke with the admissions rep. I have everything ready to go so hopefully I can complete the process quickly. Best of luck on your nursing journey.
  6. 9/1 Prelicensure B.S.N Florida Cohort

    Do you know how many seats are left? I spoke with an enrollment advisor a couple of years ago but still needed micro. I have completed the course and have everything done including the TEAS. I just need the mentor to call me back.

  8. Okay, I'll be the first...Keiser University.

    Orientation was good. Overall, I feel really positive about the program. The professors are really experienced and are all ARNP's with tons of experience. There are a lot of initial costs so be prepared for that. Our first clinicals are at health...
  9. Bad Job Market? Be a NURSE! (Insert eye roll here)

    So what is the magical career choice that just hands out jobs to recent college graduates?Unemployment/underemployment is just as bad for new grads in just about every field. Nurses overall fare better than most other majors. Just do your best and ...
  10. I need help, advice, support, anything you can give

    I'm sorry you are feeling this way. . Although I was not a nurse, I studied pre-nursing when I first went to college. I worked two jobs, did school full-time and really burned myself out. I felt a lot like you describe. I ended up choosing an eas...
  11. Okay, I'll be the first...Keiser University.

    Hi Rufian, I see you've been around for a while and have working on going to nursing school for awhile. It sounds like you are afraid of failure given what you post on this thread and the Broward thread. I'm the same way. I struggled with where to...
  12. Okay, I'll be the first...Keiser University.

    Yes, it's scheduled for August 12 - 13.
  13. Okay, I'll be the first...Keiser University.

    I am starting the core. :) I took the TEAS a few months ago. It wasn't too bad. I passed all of the sections on the first try except English. I was really shocked because English is not a problem for me. Apparently I forgot how to spell! I did fi...
  14. Okay, I'll be the first...Keiser University.

    I'm attending the Orlando campus for the fall class. I just mailed in my seat confirmation today and am so excited to start.
  15. 30+ club! Lets do this together.
