Seminole State College LPN to RN program

Published

Hello! Has anyone out there been through or going through Seminole State's LPN to RN transition program here in FL ? I just wanted to get an idea of the workload, instructors and how many days a week you are actually in class/clinicals. I'm going to an information session next month but was curious as to what to expect since I also have a family, full-time job, etc. Thanks for any input!

Yes, it seems a little misleading by them saying that. It's .more like they give those two things priority IF you meet the other requirements for admission. So sorry about your frustration. I can't imagine what your feeling. Well, at least you have an alternate spot. I have a friend who graduated from Valencia and they had 4 alternates when they started and they were all called for a spot because of people backing out at the last minute. So you never know.

What's really frustrating is that i do meet all of the requirements. I have been an assisted living director and manager of a private duty agency for the last 7 years....grrrrr! I am going to go to the college tomorrow to see if I can at least speak to someone who can tell me what exactly it is they're looking for. I already had a physician that i work closely with email them about my work experience and competency. Thanks for letting me vent....i just have to keep reminding myself what's meant to be will be. I will let you know how it turns out.

I know they will only have the generic program and the concurrent BSN program they have with UCF. So after this class, an LPN will need to apply for either of those programs. They will also be phasing out their vocational programs as well as their LPN program. I think that is what your asking?

Not exactly. I think i understand from your response. The last class starts in May.

Well, i wasn't able to get into seminole state n the spring; however, everything happens for a reason. Work is slowing down and won't be nearly as demanding and i am starting Valencia's AVS in the fall. Let the insanity begin!!
