well after a long year of nursing school while working my usual 24 on/48 off shift schedule I did it. And you can too.
I take the Nclex on Sep 13. Yay!
I took ALL my pre-reqs online to INCLUDE labs so it can be done. I did eat up all my PTOs in the last month doing my preceptorship.
Im here in central florida, I took the Bridge program at Polk State College Aug-Aug with a bunch of LPNs, a few RTs a few Medics, and a couple of X-ray techs
we started with 64, we graduated 26, half the medics didnt make it.
we have a 97% pass rate for the NCLEX at the College so we will see.
I took most of my pre-reqs at Florida Community College-Jacksonville, and online micro at St. Petersburg College.

leave me a message if you have any questions.
