  6. Anyone know someonet thats been to TECO?

    intehflames replied to KIMMY03's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thank you.. but I think I might try out Orlando Tech first, and see how that pans out, it's definitely a lot closer to my future place of residence. If for some reason it doesn't then TECO will have...

    intehflames replied to KIMMY03's topic in Florida Nursing

    Bumping this thread.. I was looking at the TECO website and it says they only accept applications for admission 4 times a year? Their website does not have much info on it at all.. I just wanted to...

    intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi danielj91.. unfortunately there's not a whole lot of options when it comes to LPN schools in Orlando. I'm going to attempt to make it to the orientation session this Thursday:...

  11. Do vocational schools accept Stafford loans?

    intehflames posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I have been looking at a few vocational schools around Central Florida to get my LPN at. I am not eligible for Pell grants because I am 21, unmarried, no kids and my parents make too much money (but...

  12. Do vocational schools accept Stafford loans?

    intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida Nursing

    Are you talking about a specific tech school around the Central FL area? Lake Tech, TECO and Orlando Tech all run about $4-5k for their entire LPN programs. Not too

  13. Do vocational schools accept Stafford loans?

    intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida Nursing

    So I keep hearing that technical schools (ones like Orlando Tech, Lake Tech, TECO, etc.) do not accept Stafford loans. Is it up to the individual institution or are all technical schools in FL the...

    intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida Nursing

    Bah. Went by Lake Tech today.. girl in admissions told me that the LPN program only has 1 seat left. I asked her if this means it would be unlikely I'd be able to get in, and she said yeah, probably....

    Has anyone on here attended Lake Technical Center in Eustis for their LPN? I see lots of posts about Orlando Tech and TECO in Kissimmee's LPN programs but nothing about Lake Tech.. thinking of going...

  16. Phlebotomy/EKG courses for a soon-to-be CNA

    intehflames posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I posted this on the CNA subforum but I really didn't get any answers, and since this place is located in Daytona Beach I figured I would try here in the FL Nurses forum. I'm a hopefully soon-to-be...

    intehflames posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm going to be sitting for the Florida CNA exam soon (hopefully I'll pass!) and I was wondering if CNAs who have EKG/phlebotomy training make better money and/or have better job opportunities? I'm...

    intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Once I pass my CNA test I might look into the phlebotomy thing.

  20. Keiser University RN Program

    intehflames replied to RNStudent78's topic in Florida Nursing

    So you guys think Keiser is a colossal waste of money? I was thinking about seriously looking into it.. however I don't want to be that deep in debt when I finish school and become an

  21. Keiser University RN Program

    intehflames replied to RNStudent78's topic in Florida Nursing

    Keiser sounds tempting, as I'd love to get started on my RN as soon as possible. I only have maybe another semester/semester and a half of pre-reqs left. However, from what I've read, RNs are having a...

  22. Nursing-Student Advice Needed!

    intehflames replied to retrostar's topic in Florida Nursing

    Noo, don't ever think like that. You're never stuck, even if it feels like you are. You're young. I've done nothing but retail and grocery since I've gotten old enough to work so healthcare is a total...

  23. Nursing-Student Advice Needed!

    intehflames replied to retrostar's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just curious, what is your GPA in your pre-reqs so far? You only need one more semester.. I'd say just quit your FT job and go to school full-time. You could still hold down a Fri-Sun part-time job....

    intehflames replied to retrostar's topic in Florida Nursing
