Nursing programs at American Institute of Alternative Medicine
The nursing offerings tracked in federal data here are the practical nursing (LPN/LVN) certificate or diploma and associate degree in nursing (ADN). Recent annual completions came to about 62 practical nursing completers and about 72 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
Published tuition and fees are about $21,700 a year. The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $76,500 a year. About 88% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Students who finish the associate level and borrow leave with median federal loan debt of about $22,100. Federal earnings data puts median pay for those associate-level nursing graduates at roughly $66,300 one year after finishing and $71,100 four years out. These are estimates for graduates with reported earnings, not a promise. Schoolwide, about 20% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time.
Applying and licensure
The school admits most applicants (about 78% overall), but that does not mean a nursing seat is guaranteed. Nursing programs usually add their own steps, such as prerequisite science courses, an entrance exam, a minimum GPA, and a limited number of seats, so contact the nursing department about current requirements. Our guide on how to get into nursing school walks through the typical process. To work as a nurse in Ohio, graduates apply for a license with the state board of nursing in Ohio 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 Ohio nursing schools page.
