The small sample size here is crucial because the numbers look alarming—but with fewer than 30 graduates tracked, we're working with limited information. That said, what we can see deserves serious attention. First-year earnings of $41,511 fall dramatically short of Florida's $64,718 median for nursing programs, landing this in the bottom 10th percentile statewide. When nearby public colleges like Valencia and Broward regularly produce graduates earning $70,000+, that's a $30,000 annual gap you'd need to explain.

The debt picture compounds the concern. At nearly $35,000, graduates carry $14,000 more debt than the typical Florida nursing program while earning $23,000 less. Compare this to Florida's many community college nursing programs that deliver stronger outcomes at lower cost. The 0.84 debt-to-earnings ratio isn't catastrophic for a first-year nurse, but it assumes you'll actually secure a nursing position at competitive wages—and these numbers suggest graduates may be struggling to do that.

Given the wealth of nursing programs across Florida with proven track records, this program's combination of bottom-decile earnings and above-average debt makes it difficult to justify. If a private nursing education is the goal, understand that you're paying significantly more for outcomes that currently trail far behind state community colleges. The small sample means future cohorts could perform differently, but until stronger data emerges, Florida families have much better options.
