Hello All, I am new to Tampa Fl and I am currently undecided on which school to go to. I am currently an LPN. Does anyone know of a good school that is inexpensive, and accredited. I am currently going to South University but they are not going to give me credit for being an LPN, and their BSN program there is 50,000 dollars. That is just too much for me. I am from California and I know of a program there that is an LVN to BSN program and its 25,000 so I didn't want to do that at SU. I heard about Kieser University but I haven't looked into their program yet. My credit is not so hot, so private loans will not work for me. I was also looking at St pete College, because their programs starts 3 times per year as opposed to HCC which is once a year. Any advice? Anything will help. Thanks!

Polk State College Transition Program in Lakeland. I just graduated. I'm a paramedic to RN, but majority of Class was LPNs. they take application packets in April for August start date. The First semester was tough, If you graduate u r almost guaranteed passing NCLEX 95% school pass rate, I think transition is 100%, still waiting for half my class to test, but 16 of 16 have passed so far waiting on 10 others, we started with 64, graduated 26.
