Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing at Ultrasound Medical Institute

The small sample size here is crucial—with fewer than 30 graduates tracked, these numbers may not represent what your child would actually experience. That said, the data we have shows earnings of $59,366, which falls below both Florida's median ($64,718) and the national average ($68,409) for nursing associate programs. More concerning is the comparison to Florida's community colleges: Valencia and Broward grads earn $11,000-$14,000 more annually right out of the gate.

The debt load of $29,075 is higher than both state and national medians, though the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.49 remains manageable by nursing standards. Half of students receive Pell grants, indicating the school serves working-class families—but those families should know that Florida's public college nursing programs typically deliver stronger returns. The 40th percentile ranking within Florida means this program performs below average compared to state alternatives.

For a specialized ultrasound-focused institution, these outcomes raise questions. If your child is considering this program, request graduation and job placement data directly from the school to verify these early numbers. Given the availability of stronger-performing nursing programs throughout Florida—many at lower cost—you'd want compelling reasons (location, schedule flexibility, specialized training) to choose Ultrasound Medical Institute over established community college options.
