subject: The Best Florida Business College [print this page] Florida Career College (FCC) will add a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program to its Brandon campus.
"Since the baby boomer age band is aging, athletic injuries and medical troubles experienced by the general population that have need of physical therapy, there are super job opportunities in this sphere," said Dr. Kory Thomas, DPT, program director Program Director of the Physical Therapist Assistant Program at FCC Brandon. "This can be said to be a great supplement to our program and degree offerings and enhances Florida Career College's mission to groom pupils for jobs that are popular so they move quickly from the classroom into the job market."
"Physical Therapist Assistants help folks of all ages with health-related problems that impede their quality of life," claimed Thomas. "I am incredibly thrilled to commence this latest program at the Brandon campus."
Florida Career College School of Nursing is adding an innovative new transitional course for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) who intend to become Registered Nurses (RNs).
"This is thus a wonderful addition to our School of Nursing curricula," claimed FCC Boynton Beach Executive Director Michael Schwam. "Our Associate's Degree Registered Nurse course began in August and is fully subscribed. Now these programs are vastly vital to us since our goal at Florida Career College can be said to be to prepare pupils to shift quickly from the classroom into jobs that are most in demand." The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that the national lack of RNs is projected to reach 20 percent by 2015. The Florida Center for Nursing supposes that the existing state scarcity of RNs could increase to 52,000 by 2020, with South Florida as the geographic area with the utmost need.
"Amid mounting options and job opportunities for nurses in South Florida, we give the education and hands-on tutoring that our college students will require in order to make it," stated Maxinee Black-Arias, RNC, MS-HRM, MSN, Dean of Nursing for Florida Career College. Currently, Boynton Beach is the only FCC campus with the School of Nursing. The school's 9th and newest campus, Boynton Beach spans 35,183 square feet, including 9,000 square feet of classroom and laboratory space devoted to the School of Nursing and the 5,000 square-foot Spa at The College, which is open to the community and then provides an array of beauty treatments.
