I graduated from SB in Feb of '11..took boards in May of '11..first time go with 75 questions on NCLEX. Both SB and Concorde are more expensive than FSC etc..but they lack alot of the snobbish pretense when it comes to getting enrolled. However....a...

48YO Male Grad Nurse here! Army Veteran too! Working on NCLEX prep!

Here's another...well couple at least...Conservative and fellow Vet.. Welcome aboard. Just finished my last night of Precept last night...hitting the NCLEX prep hard now...Testing in Feb!

Am in the second SBI RN class...the information you get from the recruiters is often not quite accurate. Best thing is to talk to some of the current students..look for the white scrubs... Yes, there was a removal of some of the 'higher ups' at SBI....

Joining the ranks... ADN program at Sanford Brown Institute here in Jacksonville, FL. Am in my last classroom session, then on to Precepts.. Not only am I the only guy in the class, I am the OLDEST..lol Career change from logistics to Nursing.. Looki...

Well...the end of the program is nearing pretty quickly. Am the only male in a class of 24 students. We are going to have a pinning ceremony, and the idea is to do it with class. We have been talking in class about what to wear. The women are go...

Going with a variation of the school's nursing uniforms....white shirt, white school-provided nursing coat..a blue pants...our clinical (and classroom) uniform is white scrub top on navy blue pants..so a variation of that works for me..they want some...

Cool..thanks for the tip..that is exactly what the women in the class have 'chosen' for me to wear...lol..now just have to get them all to agree on what they will be wearing..they have yet to agree on the female attire..

Here is a website that goes thru the Florida schools, giving information on accreditation... Thought it might be helpful.. SearchCriteria

Well...my two cents.... In a lot of communities, there are numerous nursing programs. With this comes a lot of students needing clinical sites. Sure, we all have our wants, but in the end it boils down to more students than available slots on clini...

Hey Folks.. Am in the 1st Night Class at SBI...we graduate in Feb 2011. Looking forward to it. I will say this, you guys/gals in the classes after ours will have a more smooth experience. New Programs have growing pains, and the is always the 'le...

Grats to you Marine! OOORAAAH

LPN's are great..but aren't they getting phased out here in Florida??

I can totally understand what you're going through. Was in a very similar situation last year. I had decided to go back to school for my RN. Looked at the schools in my area (Metro Detroit) and got started on the pre-reqs. Sure, I understood that...

Nursstud.. I am not a premium user....starving student and all..lol..but.. see if you can email me at g.larson8 at my (dot) sb-jacksonville (dot) com. I would be glad to show you around the facility and answer any questions about the program. I grad...

Well...Good Luck to you! Hope you do well in the course..I am loving it!

I agree that you should check the State website..but...your information about SB having a poor pass rate is totally laughable.....The Nursing Program at SB is NEW...which means there haven't yet been any students taking the NCLEX from Sanford Brown.....

Hey...did you get into the program at FCCJ?? Did you know that Work Source will help with school costs to the tune of around $7K? Check out Sanford Brown..yeah...$35K or so with no pre-req's, but once you are in the program, you are IN the program..s...

I am a Nursing Student at Sanford Brown here in Jacksonville. The comment about SB having a poor pass rate is totally wrong..the Nursing Program here is NEW..i.e. the first class is coming up on the NCLEX. SB will be rated when the first class sits...
