Hey there, I was looking at the Florida Board of Nursing programs and there were a couple that may be a possibility. Lee County High Technical Center Central Campus is in Ft Myers according to their page. Other locations may be a drive (pt charlotte, Arcadia). But take a look at the list. LPN programs begin on page 4. This web address is:

Good Luck :)

Thank You!

Im trying to find out if the Lee County High Tech Center is for "grown ups" as the School Board is iffy on that!

Im trying to stay as close to home as possible but theres NOTHING around here so Im frustrated(if gas wasnt so expensive it might not be such an issue!) EVERYWHERE else is full of programs but around theres nothing!!!:wink2:

I graduated from Lorenzo Walker Institute of Technology in Naples, Florida ten years ago. I loved the program there. The instructors are fabulous. Naples is about a 30-45 drive from Ft Myers. Also, the other school mentioned Lee High Tech is for grown ups...I know people who graduated from there. But I would really recommend you contacting Lorenzo Walker. I don't think you will be sorry.:wink2:

Specializes in A little of this & a little of that.

Definitely the Lee High program is for all ages. Most LPN programs (unfortunately) are held in Voc. Tech. High Schools. The program in Naples is also excellent. My mother attended there and got an excellent education. Good Luck.

I know this is late and you prolly already got your answer here but I do know the Port Charlotte Tech school has an LPN program. That is SW Florida.
