Pensacola Junior College has received a grant from several partners and is expanding a number of its programs. They will be accepting more paramedic to RN students ( a two-year associate’s degree program.)
Recently many paramedic students suffered a big letdown when Florida’s Board of Nursing decided that they were not going to accept the Excelsior online Paramedic to RN program - even while some students were halfway or all the way through the program. However, Pensacola Junior College is just one of many community colleges in the State of Florida which offer state accredited paramedic to Rn programs - so there’s no reason to give up.
And here’s an exciting option that we haven’t come across before: CNA to LPN! Apparently it’s a brand new program, and 60 students will be enrolled. Check out the information at the Florida Center for Nursing Webpage, which also has information about other Florida schools which have recently received various nursing grants.
