hi...at one point, i contemplated going for my rn and didn't want to be bogged down with all of the pre-reqs. i found this place in brandon, about 10 miles from tampa, fl. you could check to see if there is a program like this in the orlando area. it is a 15 month bridge program and all of the pre-reqs are incorporated into the program.
the center for allied health & nursing education
tel: (813) 246-5111
fax: (813) 246-5125
good luck...
Take a look at this forum Distance Learning for Nursing - Nursing for Nurses
And take a look under the Florida Nursing Programs forum.
I'm going to Pratt Community College in Pratt, KS and it's all online except for 3 days a week for 6 weeks at the end of the semester. So we have 36 days of clinicals for the whole program! They always group the 3 days together or I know that some of the people from california stay the whole time and rent a value place hotel room.
You can check Herzing University in Winter Park, FL. They now have a bridge program and all pre-reqs are incorporated.
Good luck with your search!

Hey I'm new to this website and I am about to start my Lpn class soon. I am planning ahead and already looking into Lpn to rn online classes and came across Pratt. My current gpa is only 2.2 in the nursing pre req but I am currently in 2 of the pre req classes and I still have 2 more to go. I did get a A or B in A&P and was wanting to know from any current students any advice they would give me to increase my chances on getting into the program. I also wanted to know other current students overall gpa's and teas scores.

I think that they would accept you with that gpa without an issue. As long as you have your prereqs complete you will probably be accepted. I know that a few students had the minimum teas score and were still accepted. They don't have a waitlist so as long as your prereqs are done then you will be accepted at least that has been the case for the last few years with them. HTH. Don't purchase your books through the book store they are very expensive there. I suggest using barnes and noble or a local textbook store that can find used books.
