I live in Pace,Fl, it is just outside Pensacola, I just started nursing school here, and the waiting lists are long at all the schools. There are hospitals that do scholarship programs here, if you agree to work for them after graduation, you have to have a letter of acceptance to apply for them. If you need prerequisites, those take awhile to get through, but if you get your name on the lists and get started it seems to come out about right. Waiting lists can be from 1 to 2 years to get through.
