Horrible excuse for a school. Low NCLEX pass rates, please use the feature here to read up on them.
But that's on the students not the school. I know it's a self teach type of thing. I want to know if anyone actually finished. I heard they changed some stuff around . Like you have to take a comprehensive exam after each class at a location
No- it is on the school.

No. If a student here or there doesn't graduate or pass the NCLEX but the overall performance of the school is strong, then that's on the student. If the overall performance of the school is poor, that's on the school. Capscare's NCLEX pass rate for 2017 was
To be fair, the NCLEX rate was all the way up over 50% in 2015 and 2016. Their performance is so bad that this school would not be allowed to operate in any US state other than FL, which changed its state laws a number of years ago to lower the standards for nursing schools precisely to make it easier and cheaper to open and operate nursing programs. I'm surprised that other states are willing to license its graduates and those of some of the other obviously subpar nursing "schools" in FL (and I expect that may change as other states start to catch on).

I personally would conduct a thorough investigation into Capscare Academy for Health Science, and their NCLEX-RN pass rate it's published annually @ https://floridasnursing.gov/forms/pn-pass-rate-3q-2022.pdf. Also look into Florida Board of Nursing schools academic program information. Which details the problems the program has faced and there plan of action.https://mbon.maryland.gov/Pages/Capscare-Academy-Graduates-1220.aspxCAPSCARE ACADEMY FOR HEALTH CARE EDUCATION INC - 39 Photos - 1800 South Dr, Lake Worth, Florida - Nursing Schools - Phone Number - Yelp

It would be worth your time, money, and academic future if you investigated and followed up with your own findings and observations directly with Capscare Academy for Health Science and the regulatory agencies.
