How is Wolford now?

Hello Claymor,

I'm currently a student at Wolford College in the second semester of the program. I can't tell you much about the clinical sites or rotations because I'm still in the didactic portion of the program. I'll answer a few of your questions though.

My class had 54 students. There was a point where my class of 54 and the class ahead of us (51 students) had to sit in the classroom together for certain classes. It was a bit crowded, but the school has resolved that issue by splitting the classes beginning this Fall. The clinical sites are substantial to support the students (from what I hear so far). The PD and administration are always looking to find more clinical sites (it's always a work in a progress). I'll be doing my clinical rotation in Tampa (beginning Feb. 2010). So far, there are three main clinical sites (Tampa, Naples and Davenport).

Hopefully this may have helped you a little bit. I too moved from TX and so far have no regrets! Let me know if I can help you answer any other questions..

Hi,

I am currently a student at FHCHS, in Orlando Florida. I wanted to encourage you to look at our school. We have classes of 20-22 students and AWESOME clinicals. We have dedicated rotations, you never have to "fight" for your numbers. You get an entire month of open heart, neuro, etc....
I work with some Wolford grads during clinicals, they did tell me at some of their cinical sites they have to "share" a case with another student. I am not sure if it's still that way, but that would be a big downfall.

Good luck with your admission/decision.

Hi Mary,
I was reading your post and I am really interested in getting into the program at FHCHS. I am in the middle of pre-requisites, transferring from FIU... I am really concerned about the entrance... and since you are in the program, could you tell me a little about the admissions process.. what program you are doing, and if you think is a good idea to begin my LPN, then get into the ASN??

Sorry for the questions...but I am kind of confused and eager to begin as soon as possible!!!

Thanks

Diana

mmbmoc, what made u choose tampa? I just got accepted to wolford and I have about a week to decide where to do clinicals. Does Tampa have better opportunities for experience? Do you have to travel to naples once a month to take a test? Also, I heard the days were longer with less days off in Tampa. I really would like to stay in Naples, but I don't know how the experience will compare as far as clinicals. Which site is the best and why??
