  3. Orlando Tech (LPN Program)

    xoCrash replied to Nurse4Jesus, LPN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have student loans I've been paying since 2010 but I don't think I was able to defer them. Check with your loan company. There was a school scholarship when I went- check with financial aid there...

  4. Orlando Tech (LPN Program)

    xoCrash replied to Nurse4Jesus, LPN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes and no as far as hard to find a job. If you are willing to work anywhere (LTC, home health, etc) it's easy. If you're more picky about the job you want, it will probably be harder. As far as pay...

  5. Orlando Tech (LPN Program)

    xoCrash replied to Nurse4Jesus, LPN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I worked full time. I do not recommend it at all. By the end of the program I quit my job. I slept better, my grades were more consistent. If you're going to work, do it part time. Those of us that...

  6. Orlando Tech (LPN Program)

    xoCrash replied to Nurse4Jesus, LPN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I also completed the LPN program at Orlando Tech and probably right around the same time as empathy. In fact, that person may even be one of my classmates. Pretty much everything she said was true,...

    That's rough. I'm still considering school here in Orlando but they only take 20 per

    xoCrash replied to RunnerD1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Okay so I would essentially be joining in when everyone else that applied during that window would be starting their third

  9. CT LPN schools

    xoCrash replied to RunnerD1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    If I were to apply in the next application window and got accepted, assuming I start semester three, does that mean I wait two semesters to begin or I join in with the group that's about to begin...

  10. CT LPN schools

    xoCrash replied to RunnerD1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I considered ABSN programs but I need to work through school so this, while longer, weighed out to be the better path for

  11. CT LPN schools

    xoCrash replied to RunnerD1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm a former CT resident (Neetown native, got my Bs in marketing at CCSU) and I moved to Florida a couple years ago. I'm currently an LPN and looking to move back to my home state. I want to go back...

  12. Starting Salary of Hospitals in CT?

  14. Valencia Advanced Track Nursing Program Fall 2015

    xoCrash replied to Nami2015's topic in Florida Nursing

    Do you know how many people applied vs how many were accepted? My biggest worry when I apply for the upcoming term is that my grades aren't good enough. I have a 3.3 at Valencia and in my prereqs I...

    xoCrash replied to dridri23's topic in Florida Nursing

    I use my adult stethoscope now when I get pediatric patients (though not often) and it works just fine. Plenty of people used cheap ones during my LPN program and plenty of us invested in a high end...

  16. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    xoCrash replied to dridri23's topic in Florida Nursing

    If i defer, I have to defer for a year because lpn-rn is may only. I don't know what to do yet, especially because I have to work the day the meeting is scheduled for. There's no way I can be in...

    xoCrash replied to dridri23's topic in Florida Nursing

    I changed from denied - transcripts not evaluated to app in review. I only have 6 points (3.0gpa) though... that's so

  23. Broward College Nursing May 2015

    xoCrash replied to dridri23's topic in Florida Nursing

    Financial aid I feel like will be the determining factor.. if I'm only offered loans then I will probably defer until I pay off/down some things and have the chance to put money aside. I currently...

    xoCrash replied to dridri23's topic in Florida Nursing

    I mentioned in my interview that one day I'd like to go back and be an RN.. i just didn't say that I had already applied and am waiting on an answer. I could defer a year but that would still mean...
