Hi, I was wondering which program you decided on. I've just applied to SFSC LPN to RN program and will be applying to Pork State as well. Thanks!

Thank you!

Hi all, I am looking for information on this program. More specifically, I would like to know about your overall experience from course work, instructor availability, clinical experience, and any other helpful info. I was in the Valencia LPN to RN program, passed my first class, and dropped the second. It was a hybrid program. All course work was online and clinicals were once a week. I have always been a traditional classroom learner, so Valencia was not the best choice for me. I just came across this program last month. I have applied to the college and attended orientation. I will be applying to the program next month. Thanks you.

Hi, I am a LPN starting the LPN to RN bridge this Fall. I actually just got my acceptance letter today. First and foremost, make sure you GPA is kept up. From the statement you made in your post about taking a year and a half to complete pre-reqs, it seems that you are going to be working while going to school. I would suggest taking two classes a semester and at the most three. Be sure your classes are balanced. For example if you're going to take a 4 credit hour class (Anatomy, Micro, or Bio) make sure you take a 3 credit hour class (English, humanity, or nutrition) to go along with it. Do not over whelm your self with too many classes which in turn may have a negative affect on your GPA. I went for my LPN because the waiting list for Valencia nursing (Generic Track) was about 2 years, give or take. I did my LPN at a private school which was a lot of money. You can go to Orlando Tech and become a LPN for around $5,000. After you obtain you LPN, you can take you pre-reqs while working for decent money ($16-$22/hr) as an LPN and gain experience. You can then apply for the Advance Standing Track (AVS) program at Valencia. There is no waiting list for the AVS. You either get accepted into the program or you keep reapplying. Before you look into the LPN, check Seminole College. A friend of mine completed her pre-reqs at Valencia, applied for the next semester at Seminole (generic track), and was accepted. You have a few options. Don't waste money going to a private school. Do your research and visit the colleges for more information. Valencia has a Health Science Information Session that is open to the public. It is held on specific days. Google Valencia health science information session and you should be able to find the schedule. Good luck. Hope this helped.
