what is the best LPN school in Orlando FL,

I go to Orlando Tech, currently. It is ok. Being part of orange county public schools, it is cheaper than some of the other programs in town at about $5000. I spoke to a Lincoln Tech grad and she said her tuition was double that amount. Plus, she has failed the NCLEX several times. I do not know if that is a reflection of their program or not. The LPN program is not easy at O-tech. This is mostly due to the tremendous amount of time you sit and waste in class. Then you have to go home and teach yourself the material with the remainder of the day. I learned by reading on my own. My biggest gripes with the program are the accrediting requirements and orange county public schools. The accrediting body requires certain hours to graduate. So, whether or not there is anything to do, you have to sit there and listen to the instructor filibuster from 7:45 am to 2:15 pm. It is like being in detention for 6 hours a day, five days per week. But, this mostly due to the accrediting body. Orange County Public Schools runs high schools primarily. And you realize quickly that are going to treat you like a high school child too. To summarize: be prepared to be treated like a child and prepare to sit on your ass for 6 hours a day.
