   Here's a news story that was done on them a few days ago. It doesn't look good for the students Students say hopes of nursing degrees dashed after school comes under investigation | 11alive.com

2. Does Orlando Health have shift Diff?? Good health insurance?

   tcbnurse1 replied to Justme23's topic in General Nursing

   It's definitely not an "insane" question. I would want to know the answer as well. Plus it's not like you can just call them up and ask them.

3. Orlando Tech (LPN Program)

   tcbnurse1 replied to Nurse4Jesus, LPN's topic in Florida

   Now that I have finished this program, passed NCLEX and officially have a job as an LPN, I thought I would come back and share my opinion on this program. Long story short, if i had to do it over again, I probably would not choose this school. It wa...

4. Orlando tech to Valencia AVS

   tcbnurse1 replied to Happy.Nurselet's topic in Florida

   LPN students do not take the same classes as a traditional RN student at Valencia. The traditional track is 72 hours and 5 semesters. LPN's take the advanced standing track which is 60 credits and 3 semesters. LPN's pretty much skip the first year ...

5. LPN school and working fulltime

   tcbnurse1 replied to tasia17's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   it's not impossible but it will be difficult. I started my program back in September with the exact same school hours and it was very hard for me to work and keep up with the assignments. I work on the weekends but only about 6 hours a day. The wor...

6. Orlando Tech (LPN Program)

   tcbnurse1 replied to Nurse4Jesus, LPN's topic in Florida

   Hi, Just wanted to give an update since a lot of threads start off with questions and no one ever follows up with their individual program. I'm 6 months into the LPN program at Orlando Tech. I started in late September and our graduation date is the...

7. Orlando Tech (LPN Program)

   tcbnurse1 replied to Nurse4Jesus, LPN's topic in Florida

   That's pretty much what I've been told by everyone else (in other LPN programs). I didn't know if Orlando Tech would be a little more manageable. Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely keep my hours at part-time. Thank you!

   Did either of you work while in the program or is it pretty impossible?

9. Orlando Tech (LPN Program)

   tcbnurse1 replied to Nurse4Jesus, LPN's topic in Florida

   Thanks and good luck to you as well. I do have several NCLEX test prep books. There's no way I would wait until AFTER I finish school to start preparing for the test but everyone has their own methods that work for them.

    tcbnurse1 replied to Nurse4Jesus, LPN's topic in Florida

    Thanks XOcrash I don't dispute anything empathy is saying. One trip on that campus and I knew it was not an organized school at all. In fact, if I had known about TECO (before I got accepted to Orlando Tech), I probably would have gone that route i...

    Empathy101, I did read everything you wrote and yes those things you mentioned are a bit strange but I can promise you the last thing I'll be thinking about while I'm cramming for a test is some kid I don't know or care about being in my class. it's...

12. Calling all September students!!

    tcbnurse1 replied to janevance66's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I start on September 28 but my orientation is on August 31. Hopefully I will find out all of the books I need to buy then. I have only bought 2 books: an LPN study guide and a medication book. I'm too scared to buy much more than that in fear tha...

    tcbnurse1 replied to Nurse4Jesus, LPN's topic in Florida

    Thanks for all of the feedback. Sounds like you had a bad experience which is unfortunate. I'm still looking forward to the opportunity and the challenge. It's not uncommon for schools to lose people in nursing programs. The coursework is intense...

    Thanks for the input. How long ago did you finish the program?

    I went to my WIA appointment this morning. I think it went well but I may not qualify since I already have a bachelor's degree but I'm still hopeful. The lady whose working with me said I should know something by the end of next week. Thanks for th...
