Just so your aware. I'm actually in the last semester of the LPN to RN program at Seminole. Unfortunately, we were the last class accepted for the transition program since they have discontinued it. So Its either the generic program or concurrent BSN...
It will be very vigorous! I went through about a month of it last spring and had no choice but to drop out to take care of my son's health issues that were flaring up. The first semester is literally an 8 credit course you are expected to finish in 8...
I know they will only have the generic program and the concurrent BSN program they have with UCF. So after this class, an LPN will need to apply for either of those programs. They will also be phasing out their vocational programs as well as their L...

Just a quick story here. My girlfriend graduated from an RN program in 2008. Looked for a job for 2 years! Placed online apps all over the place. Finally landed a job by walking in to HR of a hospital, asked for the nurse recruiter and handed her a ...

Sorry to hear it. If they are asking you to verify your work experience, then maybe they are trying to figure out if you have bedside nursing experience. I know the RT's, Paramedics have to verify they are competent with bedside skills by having to f...
I got my email as well and got in to start in May! I'm excited as well as feeling apprehensive about the busy year ahead since I'm trying to stay working full-time as well. Hopefully it won't be to bad since I work 3- 12 hour shifts a week. Congrats!...
