12 month Florida Resident

So I just received a job offer in Florida and was supposed to start the nursing program in NJ....However now that I'm moving to Broward county they say that I have to pay out of state tuition...how is that fair when I'm moving for a new job. Does anyone have info on this...any clue if there is a waiting list for Broward College RN program? Any idea what the tuition is? I hear the professor are mean....not sure how true this is....any help would be appreciated
Yep, it's 12 months of receiving mail at one local address to establish residency. That's pretty much across the board for any school that has in and out of state tuition. Schools do not care why you are relocating.

Agree with the previous poster. 12 months in florida to get in-state tuition fees. Go to the broward college website for tuition information. It's much cheaper than the other colleges around here. As far as nursing instructors being mean, I've heard that. However, I hear that about almost all of the nursing programs...that's nursing unfortunately. Is there a waiting list....yes, it's very competitive. Good luck.

Florida residency, unless its changed in the past few years since I moved, is 6 months and 1 day. A lot of this is because so many "snow birds" arrive and leave and own houses in Florida and other places so a lot of it has to do with taxes etc. Now, the school may require something different. I don't know about any RN schools in Broward but I agree w/previous posters - you are there to learn not be friends w/the professiors so who cares if they are nice or not? Yes, it would make things easier in a sense, but be professional and business like and you will do fine. I miss Florida sometimes - not the heat and humidity but everything else...

For college it is 12 months and some of the college's go by State ID or Drivers License, not by bills. I just had to deal with this mess with my daughter applying for college. She was born and raised in Florida went to and graduated from a Florida school system and I still had to prove she was a Florida Resident. The 1st thing they asked for was a State ID of sort. My daughter is only 16 and didn't have a State ID or a Driver's License. It took a bit over 3 months to get this issue corrected. I had to get 3 signed and notarized statements from doctors and/or teachers. What a mess.Not sure about Broward County but in my County the waiting period is about year or longer for the nursing program. Your best bet is to call the school and speak to someone about the program.Wishing you the best of luck.
