In southwest miami dade Robert Morgan Technical Inst. offers a Lpn program as well as Mercy Hospital in Coral Gables in Miami. I love talking about Miami, Fla. Its my home and as soon as I take state boards after this semester of Nursing school I'm homeward bound. Hope this information helps.
Thank you all so much, I have been looking, but it seems that almost all the schools get full fast and they have a waiting list as well. I don't want to waste any more time standing around being rejected from universities. What are the advantages of doing an LPN program.

do you know if the passing score for the teas entrance exam for lindsey hopkins is the percentile or the score, because there's two different types of scores on the test results.
