Does anyone know about the ABSN program at Keiser University at Sarasota? I know it's a new program but wanted to check here before I apply.

OP: for some reason https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/ only publishes stats on Keiser Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.

This is odd because they are a ubiquitous, ever expanding octopus-like group of schools with long tentacles throughout the state of Florida. They have a bit of a shape-shifting past, at one time for-profit; after which AG Pam Bondi (of all people) turned up the heat for questionable recruitment practices, News Release - Attorney General Bondi’s Office Reaches Agreement with Keiser University, Everglades University and Keiser Career College , they switched to the less toxic, at least in theory, "not for profit" designation.

Attendance, of course, is your decision based upon the many variables that are pertinent to you. Mine are cost, graduation and retention metrics.

In the school's favor, I can say that, at least in Ft.Lauderdale, they have credible graduation and retention rates. The yearly cost, though, for a freshman nursing student is steep at roughly $23,500 per year. Yikes!!! But the clinicals are all done in the usual corporate venues, most run by HCA and Tenet and other conglomerates, at least here in Florida.

So even though they market their schools very much in the same way that the for-profits do, at least they seem to produce decent results.

But ultimately, they, like a lot of schools, need to curtail their addiction to what has been labeled the tuition-arms-race.

If you pay too much to attend any school, your ROI will never be realized. At least not by working as a nurse in but one lifetime.

Have you started the program? Any thoughts ?

Does anyone knows a good online program LPN to RN bridge or school in Orlando FL? Thanks
