Nursing programs at Florida State College at Jacksonville
The nursing offerings tracked in federal data here are the practical nursing (LPN/LVN) certificate or diploma, associate degree in nursing (ADN), and bachelor’s degree in nursing (BSN). Recent annual completions came to about 40 practical nursing completers, about 284 associate-degree nursing graduates, and about 124 bachelor’s-level nursing graduates. Offering both associate and bachelor’s pathways under one roof can make it easier to start with an ADN, earn your RN license, and move on to a BSN later; our ADN vs. BSN guide explains how to weigh the two.
Cost and student outcomes
Published tuition and fees are about $2,900 a year for in-state students and $10,000 for out-of-state students. The average net price (what students receiving federal aid pay after grants and scholarships) is about $8,700 a year. About 41% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants. Students who finish the associate level and borrow leave with median federal loan debt of about $12,100. Federal earnings data puts median pay for those associate-level nursing graduates at roughly $69,100 one year after finishing and $78,000 four years out. These are estimates for graduates with reported earnings, not a promise. Schoolwide, about 38% of first-time, full-time students finish within 150% of normal time.
Applying and licensure
The federal data does not report an overall admission rate for this school, which is typical of open-access colleges. Expect the nursing program to have its own application, prerequisite courses, and limited seats. Our guide to getting into nursing school explains what programs typically look for. After graduation, the path to a license goes through the Florida Board of Nursing and the NCLEX exam. Ask the program about its accreditation (ACEN or CCNE) and state approval, and see how it stacks up against other nursing schools in Florida.
