    In my area of Florida the highest I've heard straight out of school is $23/hr at the correctional facilities in my county but you have to go through an agency. If you go directly to them it's a couple...

    I responded about Concorde in your other post. Erwin's has a LPN program and they won't be accepting students until August of this year I believe. They do have a lottery system but nearly everyone who...
