It does like they are approved by the FLBON, but they are not accredited by the nursing agencies ACEN and CCNE. Many employers will not hire students from schools without these accreditations, and many universities will not accept these schools for ...

I would not go to Kaplan. Their program is not accredited by the ACEN (NLNAC). It's difficult to get a job or get accepted into RN-BSN programs if you don't graduate from an accredited school. As far as FSCJ vs. Keiser, you need to weigh the pros a...

ABSN is great if you have have a competitive GPA. In my area, competitive means at least a 3.75 overall GPA and an 85% on the TEAS. ASN programs are almost as competitive and/or there is a 2 year wait list. The LPN program entry is based on your T...

When I had my youngest son one year ago, my L&D nurse had an intimidating appearance. In reality, she was so wonderful and went above and beyond to help me safely achieve a VBAC. She was an angel.

I actually just spoke with the admissions rep. I have everything ready to go so hopefully I can complete the process quickly. Best of luck on your nursing journey.

Do you know how many seats are left? I spoke with an enrollment advisor a couple of years ago but still needed micro. I have completed the course and have everything done including the TEAS. I just need the mentor to call me back.

Orientation was good. Overall, I feel really positive about the program. The professors are really experienced and are all ARNP's with tons of experience. There are a lot of initial costs so be prepared for that. Our first clinicals are at health...

So what is the magical career choice that just hands out jobs to recent college graduates?Unemployment/underemployment is just as bad for new grads in just about every field. Nurses overall fare better than most other majors. Just do your best and ...

I'm sorry you are feeling this way. . Although I was not a nurse, I studied pre-nursing when I first went to college. I worked two jobs, did school full-time and really burned myself out. I felt a lot like you describe. I ended up choosing an eas...

Hi Rufian, I see you've been around for a while and have working on going to nursing school for awhile. It sounds like you are afraid of failure given what you post on this thread and the Broward thread. I'm the same way. I struggled with where to...

Yes, it's scheduled for August 12 - 13.

I am starting the core. :) I took the TEAS a few months ago. It wasn't too bad. I passed all of the sections on the first try except English. I was really shocked because English is not a problem for me. Apparently I forgot how to spell! I did fi...

I'm attending the Orlando campus for the fall class. I just mailed in my seat confirmation today and am so excited to start.

I am 32 with a two year old and a 9 month old. I start my core in September and will be going RN to BSN as soon as I get my license.

Valencia has a two year wait list to start their program and takes two years. With that it will take 4 years to get the ASN plus another 1 -2 years to get the BSN. Keisers program is 14 months, plus two months to take the NCLEX. The total cost, no...

I think your beliefs will be an asset, as long as you are able to put them aside if they differ from your patients wishes. IMO there are many moms who would benefit from nurses who have a natural mindset. Personally, I had a VBAC this past August....

Thanks for posting this! I am getting ready to start Keiser in Orlando this summer. My story is similar to yours in that I have a degree and am about to finish my Masters this semester. My ugrad grades are similar to yours, which makes it impossibl...

It's not true that Keiser University's credits do not transfer. They do transfer to most Florida public universities.

If I'm asked this question during an interview I seriously want to reply that my hamstrings are my greatest weakness.
