Nursing programs at Academy for Nursing and Health Occupations
Federal completion data shows nursing credentials awarded at these levels: practical nursing (LPN/LVN) certificate or diploma and associate degree in nursing (ADN). In the most recent reporting year, the school reported about 45 practical nursing completers and about 47 associate-degree nursing graduates. Programs at this level are the faster, lower-cost way into the profession: an ADN typically takes about two years once prerequisites are done, and many graduates later add a bachelor’s through an RN-to-BSN program.
Cost and student outcomes
The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $31,000 a year. About 65% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Students who finish the associate level and borrow leave with median federal loan debt of about $30,000. Federal earnings data puts median pay for those associate-level nursing graduates at roughly $77,800 one year after finishing and $84,200 four years out. These are estimates for graduates with reported earnings, not a promise. Schoolwide, about 67% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time and 67% return for a second year.
Applying and licensure
The federal data does not report an overall admission rate for this school, so ask the admissions office how applicants are evaluated. Admission to the nursing major or program is often a separate, competitive step with prerequisites, minimum grades, and capped enrollment. Check deadlines with the nursing department, and read our nursing school requirements guide to prepare. To work as a nurse in Florida, graduates apply for a license with the Florida Board of Nursing and pass the NCLEX. Before you commit, verify the program’s ACEN or CCNE accreditation and state approval, and compare it with other options on our Florida nursing schools page.
