Congrats to those of you who got in!!! I got into the LPN-RN transition program :) I wish everyone the best of luck and will see some of you at orientation...

Hi k.wadeRN I currently live in the Tampa Bay Area and I can tell you that Baycare is one of the big organizations and if you can get in with them, you'll be in a good position. I'm not saying that because I work for them, but because I believe in what they do for the community and families. Baycare has many hospitals, they're in Polk, Hillsborough, and Pinellas counties. Something to look into. Another good hospital in Hillsborough County is Tampa General. We also have Florida Hospitals and they are in Orlando, Tampa and I believe Wesley Chapel. I hope this helps you start your search. GOOD LUCK with everything :)

Hey everyone, I also applied to the Spring 2016 programs. A couple of weeks ago they had a workshop for those who applied. We were told for the generic ASN program there were 369 applicants, of which 94 positions will be filled. The gentleman making final decisions said that since Nov. 1 is a Sunday, we should get our emails on Friday Oct. 30 (he said it could be as late as 8pm)....so that only leaves us with 19 more days of waiting. If anyone is applying for the LPN transition program there were (at the time) 36 applicants, with 24 spots available. Keep in mind, the school takes Pinellas county residence as a preference, and then will look at the other county applicants. I personally applied to both programs, and am praying for a positive outcome. GOOD LUCK to everyone who applied, I look forward to seeing you in January!!!
