The night LPN program @ Orlando Tech no longer is offered. The last night class graduated in March 2015. Day classes are from 7:45 - 2:15, M - F. Also, you are not allowed to go to your classroom (top floor btw) until 10 mins before your class starts (along w the entire school). You are not allowed food or drinks (unless you can sneak them in out-of-sight), it has a very high school feel, unfortunately. Some clinical hours can be earlier, like @ 6:30 am...depending on the clinical site & abailability. The students that start the program do not all necessarily end the program w you. There was a day class there that started out with 25 students & only about 9 ended up graduating in the end. Some students left, others switched to other classes. Keep in mind that the communication can be quite frustrating & tests answers were & can be keeyed incorrectly. There was one test I took were on one question, no answers were correct! SMH. Read your books & use your book resources, because you end up teaching yourself. Oh, & when it's time to finish your program, the school has you fill out an "anonymous" paper survey on how to "improve the school" but it's stapled to your paperwork. The school also has you log on to the computer with your password & then take 2 online surveys. If the school really wanted to improve things, they would make all surveys anonymous...which they do not. Also, there will be other students "jumping into your class" to pick up where they took a leave of absence...so don't get used to your initial classmates, because most likely that will change. Also CYA, because the school can be very dysfunctional in terms of rules changing @ the drop of a hat & the nursing department can be passive aggressive. Also, the assistant director of nursing was able to teach her husband in the nursing program (she is also the one, I've been told) who makes the tests (incorrectly keeyed in answers & all), & her preteen (not a student of Orlando Tech) was able to sit in class & participate in CPR during class time. Can we say conflict of interest??? The cost of the school is inexpensive, & that's about the only plus I walked away from. I tried to learn from my experience in how not to treat people & future patients from the poor experience from this school. Enter at your own risk.
