Also look on FB, plenty of folks who attend and speak good things.

I have a coworker who is enrolled and almost done. Plenty people have passed their NCLEX. Since it's online self study, it takes motivated individual who is focused, otherwise, one may not have such a good experience.

Your welcome :)

Capscare Academy is NOT 100% online. Theory is 100% online and clinical is 4wks.

UPDATE!!! I WAS ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION AT MBON AND below is her response: Let me clarify the Maryland Board of Nursing's regulations. An applicant who attended an out-of-state nursing program can be licensed in MD if the Board of Nursing where the program is located approved that program, i.e., if graduates from your program are allowed to be licensed in FL, MD will honor that approval. Additionally, specific to MD, you must have had both theory and clinical practice in medicine, surgery, maternal-child, psychiatric, pediatric, and geriatric nursing. Often, geriatric nursing is integrated in several of the required nursing areas and will not appear on the official final transcript as a course. Being able to sit in MD for boards is true. You can sit for the exam in any of the 50 states, a few territories and foreign countries for licensure in a specific state. If FL is your legal state of residency, you cannot test for your license under the MD Board of Nursing. Both MD and FL are compact states meaning you can work in any of the 49 compact states using your FL license. You can test in MD but not for a MD compact license. Once you move to MD, you must endorse into MD.

Ok so I've been inquiring about a LPN-RN school in FL called Capscare Academy due to it's affordability. I finally got a response from the Director of education at MD Board of Nursing regarding whether I'm able to sit for licensure in MD... being that the school is NOT amongst approved schools in MD. MY EMAIL: I'm a LPN. I'm looking into a school in Florida called Capscare Academy for Healthcare Education for my RN due to affordability. I was told by the school I can sit for my boards here in MD and once I pass, I can apply for license by endorsement to MD. Since the school is NOT amongst the approved schools here in MD, will I be able to apply for endorsement here in MD? HER RESPONSE : Let me clarify the Maryland Board of Nursing's regulations.

Both MD and FL are compact states meaning you can work in any of the 49 compact states using your FL license. You can test in MD but not for a MD compact license. Once you move to MD, you must endorse into MD. I'm so happy right now, and if anyone knows, nursing education is not cheap and to be able to find this program is well worth it to me. :)

Then contact the MD BON and find out if they will accept a graduate of the program for licensure, whether by exam or by endorsement from another state. Yes, this is what I've been trying to do before I go further, but I haven't been able to speak to anyone so far. Guess I'll keep trying. Thanks for your input :)

Im also looking for a online LPN-RN program and found one in FL and it's entirely online except one would have to go to FL for two week clinical. It's called Capscare Academy and very affordable except no financial aid. I'm thinking of going into the program. I was told I sit for FL boards in MD and then once I pass I can have my license transferred to MD (my place of residence). I'm just wondering if MD will allow me to transfer license being that the school is NOT amongst their accepted schools. BTW, I too work full time and have a toddler. I'm thinking about getting a 3-12hr shift job so I can have time for my studies. Your thoughts?

Try home care

Im sure it's better than bedside care where u have 20-30 pts to care for.

Hello. I'm thinking of doing my LPN-RN program at Capscare Academy in FL, anyone doing this program? How is it? Is it a good program? I was told I can take my NCLEX in MD, but it would be under FL NCLEX, then I can "transfer" my license to MD once I pass the NCLEX since it's a compact state? Is this true?

"you can apply through the MD BON", yes they did mention that I can apply for NCLEX through MD BON(since it's my state of residence), but I would be taking FL NCLEX examination. Then, I would have to "transfer" my licensure to MD once I pass my NCLEX. I'm guessing I will be able to apply for licensure through MD once I pass, since FL and MD are compact states. Is this right?
