I am currently employed in Oklahoma with an Agency. This Agency is based in Florida and is currently looking for something for me. I am wondering if I can get any insight on what Jobs look like for LPNs/LVNs in the area. ie. Pay, Work, Facility, Depa...

Orlando area, Clermont, Kissemmee, Winter Lake, SW, Southern Side mainly. Thank you for any and all suggestions/comments.

Congrats! I am moving to Florida soon and have been discouraged by the "no one hires LPNs" talk. I am just starting my hunt and hope I am so lucky!

Thank you every one for replies even though it's not exactly what I wanted to hear, it's educating. Absolute minimum pay I would take is around 20/hr. Having 7 years of experience I would hope more than a few places would consider this rate and more....

Thank you for the answer. Do you know of anyone personally that is a Nurse in Florida currently? Next week I am really going to start looking for employment and I've heard LPNs are NOT used in the Hospitals much at all there. I would like to go back...

I travel to Florida, love it there, and may in the future move there. I have been a Nurse since 2008. I just have recently gone back to being employed professionally as a Nurse. That gap is December 2011 to the beginning of October this year. I had t...

Same as previous poster, a condition is they must know the dx.

I am in the LPN Progam at Pioneer Tech in Ponca City. I forgot the the NLN is also referred to as the NCLEX. DOH! I just started about a month ago and really liking it.

OH YAH! Keep us updated! I also just started an LPN Program and the OU Bridge Program is one I am considering on going to. I did have a question about the NLNs since someone brought that up. If my School/Program is NLN accredited, will I have to sti...

4 day old student here! Just got 100% on my first quiz YAY!

jkolberg, I have heard the same thing over and over! I am 28 and starting tomorrow a LPN Program then bridging to a RN Program. I am anxious, nervous and can definately feel your pain. So we can go through this together, just know you are not alone...

I bought one mainly for school and I find just putting in the information (timely sometimes) just helps me remember, like a study tool. Also when you dont' Need/want to lug around all your books its AWESOME. Plus its always with you and very handy ...

That's Excellent. I start school in less than a month and my TEN YEAR anniversary is coming up. I feel your pain and joy! :)

that's utterly ridiculous and shold only be teached in clinicals and not on classmates. I know I would have a problem with that for sure.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EASY! really the only part I was worried about was the fractions and I missed 2 out of the entire test. :) I am 28 and was never a top student in High School.

I get that question mostly from NEW RNs believe it or not. I have researched it ALOT and asked many seasoned RNs and LPNs and the ones that I respect and believe to be the best RNs at thier place of employment all suggested to go the LPN to RN route...

I will report back in 2 months when I start class, but so far it's looking like a 2 to 40+/- ratio, including me in the 2.

It's for the LPN Program there and I just got the call today for May 8th. I really didnt want to wait till Sept. Now I just need to get some grants and all that good stuff. If anyone is going to be there, I will be one of the few MALES in class. Ta...

From what I understand it is self-paced. They market it as 18-24 months but you can complete it in about a year or so. Which I plan to do and then move on to BSN. This program they want you to have 20 hours per week, but you can come into the class...

Hey I'm here! I am in Ponca City, OK and will start a LPN Program this May! Then on to get my RN License.

LOL, I hope I never get that question!

See this is where being multi lingual comes in handy, I love acting nice and cursing someone out in another language at the same time. But seriously, I always like to give the TEAM speech when stuff like this happens. I consider myself fairly mature...

I have thought about changing careers for the last 2 years and am finally doing it. I will be going to get my LPN in Sept 06. I have asked MANY 20+ vets of RN and they all said it would be most beneficial to go for CNA or LPN then BSN. Alot of the...

Got my letter today, I'M IN!!!!!!!!! WOOT! But now I have a long wait, oh the dreaded list

I just currently quit at my Network Admin job and got my life back together so I could do want I want, become an RN. However due to some unforseen complications (monetary) I have no money to go to school on. So in my small town there are little to...
