Looking for quality LPN to RN program in West Palm Beach

Hello,

I'm new to West Palm Beach and am looking into several LPN to RN schools. I've done extensive research and found that many schools have a low NCLEX-RN pass rate (some as low as 25%). Becasue I'm not familiar with the area, I'm sceptic as to which school I attend since I'm afraid if it's not a good program, I will likely fail the NCLEX. Are there any schools in the area that ARE legit with a high NCLEX pass rate. Just seems like there are so many schools that the NCLEX pass rates aren't listed on the State Board of Nursing web site making me nervous (from what I've heard) are run by shady people.

    Have you already looked into the LPN-to-RN completion program being offered by the Academy of Nursing and Health Occupations in West Palm Beach? I have no personal experience with this school, but just wanted to throw their name into the mix.

    No I haven't heard of them are they expensive? I looked on a State Board of Nursing web site to see NCLEX-Rn pass rates and they weren't listed (under RN programs). Guess this is a newer program? I've looked into several and am shocked how expensive they are compaired to my homestate of Pennsylvania. There was a school in Broward County that was 43,000 for a 1 year program YIKES!!!

    Check to see if there is a community college in West Palm Beach. The Florida community colleges are very good and easy on the wallet. I think most if not all the counties in Florida have a community college. You can also check out the local universities. I think Florida Atlantic University may be in your area. I hope this is helpful. I live in Florida, but on the gulf side.
