Temple College?

Nice to "meet" you, TxLVNstudent! My first name is Laura--we should try to meet on campus!Don't know what that 256 semester hours is....the curiculum page on the Temple website clearly shows something like 47 sem. hours. Maybe it's the actual number of lecture hours we have?? Who knows....See ya on the 4th (29 days until we sign our life over to nursing school)

Thanks for all the comments, everybody!

In reply to the Temple vs. Taylor programs, I applied for both and only got in at the Temple location. The 50-mile one way drive sucks, but it's only for a year....let's just hope I can afford the $3/gallon gas!

Glad to hear about how the job situation has worked out for the Taylor students...one of my great trepidations before deciding firmly to pursue the LVN diploma was whether or not I would have a hard time finding a job, as the Austin area seems to have a really tight job market. I'm not really interested in hospital work (I don't think they could pay me enough to work under such stressful conditions, lol), but homecare and hospice really do appeal to me. Also, LTC is not something I'm opposed to, as long as it's a decent facility. Do you happen to know what kind of facilities the Taylor students got into? Although the job hunt is a bit more than a year away, any advance advice is appreciated!
