Just looking for some info on these or other places to get an associate degree to become an RN. I live in Brandon and have been checking for reviews, but they seem to be a couple of years old. Want to know from current and past students about their experiences, where are you working now? I know these places are expensive.....but if $$$$ wasn't an issue which would be the place to go?

If you plan on just getting an ADN Keiser, although super expensive is the way to go because it is quick. But if you think you may want to get your BSN later, don't waste the time and/or money. Keiser's credits don't transfer anywhere so you would have to start all over again.

While I agree it's expensive, credits do transfer. I just graduated from Keiser in Ft. Lauderdale in December and am starting my BSN at another accredited and well-known university next week. All of my nursing and non-nursing credits transferred.

I just graduated from Keiser Melbourne in December. I loved it! Everyone in my class has also passed NCLEX-RN, first attempt.

I attended KU in Tampa. It is fully transferable to USF and SPC (the two schools I've chosen). As far as the Tampa campus I have NOTHING nice to say...I'll leave it at that.

Maybe in mistaken. I repeated the info I have heard from people who went there. Maybe they got the accreditations they need it .

What was wrong with that campus? I'm thinking about transferring there at the end of the year. It's the new campus on w. waters.

They are accredited. Nothing's wrong with the campus! It's the people running the nursing program. If I could've transferred trust and believe I would've.
