LPN program at FSCJ (Florida State College at Jacksonville)

I was wondering if anyone knows how the application process works for the LPN program at FSCJ? Is it a point system like the RN program? How often do new programs start? How many get accepted?

Application Procedure

The Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) is a major criterion in a student's completion of the program. Students who fail to meet the State of Florida's designated exit score will be required to complete the Applied Academics for Adult Education (AAAE). In order to complete the program successfully, students must achieve or surpass the designated exit score(s). See the Standards of Academic Progress.

Admission to this program is limited and is based on academic performance and other criteria.

It is recommended that students have a conference with the program advisor prior to applying to the program. To meet the minimum requirements for consideration and acceptance to the Practical Nursing program, students must:

1. Complete a Florida State College at Jacksonville application.
   
2. Complete a Practical Nursing program application.
   
3. Successful completion of the Background and Drug Screening process upon acceptance into the program.
   
4. A physical examination will be required upon acceptance into the program.
   
5. Provide Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) scores.
   
6. Provide evidence of current CPR certification (adult, child and infant) achieved through an American Heart Association approved Basic Life Support (BLS) course for Health Care Providers, that includes hands-on simulated experiences.
