  1. Long-distance learning success stories?

    centralflorida replied to centralflorida's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks, Mudwoman. What I was planning on doing was getting my LPN license, getting a job as an LPN, and then applying to Excelsior. I imagine I'd work as an LPN for at least a few months before going...

  2. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    centralflorida replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks, MMW37, that is helpful. Unfortunately my GPA from my bachelor's degree many years ago is more like a 3.1. That was back when I was young and foolish and my parents were paying for college....

  3. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    centralflorida replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    MM37, is it very competitive to get into the nursing program at USF once you have finished your prereq's? That is my big problem here - that you can finish all those prereq's and then still have to...

  4. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    centralflorida replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    This is all great advice. Right now I am brushing up on my rusty math skills so that when I take the NET or whatever I have to take, I can pass it. I'm still debating the LPN program, because I'd have...

  5. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    centralflorida replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    luv4nursing, I am so with you on that one! When I talked to them at PCC a couple of years ago it was at LEAST a two year wait, if I even got accepted - and I couldn't even apply until AFTER I take all...

  6. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    centralflorida replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thank you, Tweety...what part of the state are you in? It surprises me that Orlando doesn't pay more, it's a big city, it has so many visitors that you would think there'd be a ton of demand for...

  7. Anyone attending Keiser College?

    centralflorida replied to ex1140's topic in Florida Nursing

    I went and talked with an admissions counselor at Keiser recently and here is my take on it. I did absolutely feel like I was talking to a used car salesman and that I was being sold a product. Does...

  8. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    centralflorida replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    MM37, I live in Lakeland, but I could commute in the direction of either Orlando or Tampa for school. St. Pete would probably be pushing it. I have a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field, from 20...

  9. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    centralflorida replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    So, nineisenough and luv4nursing...are you in Florida? Especially luv4nursing - that actually sounds much higher than what LVN's I know make here! $42,000 a year is really not bad for an LVN degree....

  10. vocational school or reg College??

    centralflorida replied to MaMaJ9804's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So there are no vocational schools around that have two year associate's in nursing? There are a ton of them - and of course they're MUCH more expensive than community college - in Florida. The one...

  11. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    centralflorida replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well, everybody, I appreciate the honest answers! Although what I wanted to hear was "At LEAST 30 dollars an hour for a new nurse! And the sky's the limit!" Looking on the bright side, at least...

  12. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    centralflorida replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    I haven't started school yet - I'm looking at various private schools like Keiser, Galen and FMU because I don't want to wait forever for a spot to open up at community college. So I'm researching...

  13. What do you love about ER nursing?

    centralflorida replied to jollyjenny's topic in Emergency

    I'm considering going into nursing, and I definitely would want to go into the ER. For all you ER nurses, is it harder to get assigned to the ER than other areas of the hospital? As in, is this a plum...
