Thanks for responding!
I will be living in the pompano area but i have family in orlando as well so schools in those areas would be ideal. Any advice will certainly be appreciated. What do you think of all the technical schools as opposed to community colleges. Do employers even care where you graduated from as long as you passed the nclex-pn?
I think the program in Orlando is T.E.C.O. and it ran through the school board.
Here's a website that lists all the nursing schools in Florida LPN/RN.
Hey supermodel...,
I live in the Pompano area. Atlantic VoTech has an LPN program. I'm starting an RN program at Broward Community College (BCC) North Campus in January. BCC has an online RN program. This school doesn't have a waiting list. Students are admitted based on their pre-req GPA. I have included the links below:

Good Luck! Welcome to South Florida!
Hi there!
I'm in Broward County, I attended Sheridan Technical Center. I completed the LPN program in October of last year. I really recommend the school to anyone who is thinking of getting into the profession. I did see that you would be living in Pompano. Atlantic Technical is the sister school of Sheridan so I guess it is the same curriculum. I did have a few classmates that transferred from Atlantic, Broward, and Palm Beach Community Colleges. They all had their own little situations which caused them to transfer, but I can tell you this, they all completed the program at Sheridan. I am really glad that I did the LPN program instead of going right into the RN. It's a great opportunity to be able to get out into the field, make money, see what area you want to get involved in before you get specialized. I'm planning on going to BCC for the LPN-RN transition, I just have a few prereq's to finish, but after that it will only be about a year till my RN. So anyways, I'll quit the blabber-if you have any questions, let me know! Take care and happy school shopping!

Hi everyone! I'm brand new to this forum but very excited to be here. I have an associates degree in liberal arts with mostly science courses. My GPA is 3.0 I want to become a nurse and was wondering how to go about it. I was thinking I'll do the LPN course first and then do LPN-RN online as I have to work. Is this a good idea and what schools do you recommend in south or central florida for LPN courses. thanks guys.
