I'm curious if anyone has used Workforce Central Florida's WIA program to help pay tuition for their LPN. One part I don't understand is that they make you apply for 10 jobs as a part of the...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good LPN programs in the Orlando area. I'm more specifically looking for LPN programs that have a summer start date, as I know I'm too late to enter...

I'm a current OTech LPN student. OTech is not fancy at all (and that's all I'm gonna say about that, lol) but it's a good bang for your buck.. I wouldn't spend a ton of money at a private school for...
I started on January 25. I am learning a lot but the program I'm in seems kind of disorganized. We start on our first nursing home clinicals in two weeks, and I don't feel prepared at all. We only...

Does anyone know if Orlando Tech is open at all tomorrow (12/31, New Years' Eve)? I need to buy a parking garage sticker.. that lady at orientation said we're not allowed to park in the visitors'...

I was there at the orientation as well. I agree that the lady was a bit disorganized with her information. Do we have to wear our uniform the first day of school (January 5) or not? At least the...

Thanks for the info Onmyway. I've heard the same thing about new grad RN's having a tough time finding work in FL. Honestly, I think an LPN may have a better chance of getting a job and getting their...

Has anyone received their orientation invitation letters in the mail yet? I'm pretty sure when I turned in my packet the receptionist said they'd be mailing out letters in October but I haven't...
I'm going to be attending a full-time LPN program in January. I can't get a pell grant because the government says my father makes too much money (I'm 22). My school, a technical school, does not...

I e-mailed Central Florida WIA on Friday and still haven't received a response back. I wanted to know if I could get the job search requirement waived, seeing as I will be attending a full-time LPN...

LPN program in 10 1/2 weeks? I don't think that's possible anywhere.. lol. I do know you can test out of some of the basic classes if you hold a CNA license, or so I've heard. Are you planning on...
intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida Nursing
Oh man. I don't think I could do that. That's going to be hell on you. I plan on trying to work only on the weekends to ensure I have enough time to study and focus on school during the week. Meaning...

My name is Gina. :) Yeah, I'm just worried about class time rolling around and not having the funds to pay for school. I asked the lady at financial aid when tuition is due and she said it wasn't due...
intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida Nursing
Ah, that's good. I think I will call them up tomorrow and ask them about it. My financial aid advisor really didn't tell me much about the program.. just gave me a flier with the URL on it and told me...
intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida Nursing
You're welcome. Yeah, I thought a dental checkup was kind of unnecessary but you're required to get one. Now I just have to worry about how to pay for the program. I spoke with financial aid on...

The next program starts in May 2010. January is already filled up. If you want in you need to haul butt up there because I'm sure it'll be filled up by the holidays....
intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida Nursing
It's awesome there's actually a few of us that will be in the same class together. I wish our info session was sooner.. we ARE supposed to get our orientation invitation letters in November, correct?...
I will be starting an LPN program in January. I'm currently job hunting because I want to move closer to where my school will be. The thing is, my LPN program will be full-time days, 8a-3p Monday...
intehflames replied to intehflames's topic in Florida Nursing
Yeah. The September program filled up back in April and I was one of the last ones to get into the January program. I'm excited but I will feel much better once I get the financial aid crap out of the...
Hey, I just passed the NET for Orlando Tech LPN a few weeks ago. It was not really that difficult at all. The worst part about it is that it is a timed test, so you have to work very quickly or you'll...
