Deciding on a Nursing School

Good evening everyone..I'm looking into different nursing schools, and the one that stood out to me the most is Fortis College in Pensacola..I wanted to get people's opinion about the school, and if you where a former student, how was the teachers, classes, and the passing rate for the NCLEX.

Thank You!! ??

I believe Fortis College is a for profit school. I can’t say that I’ve had personal experience with them but I’m heard horror stories about for profits like that and would urge you to be wary. Why don’t you try a community college or a state public school? I’m sure most would be cheaper than Fortis and more reliable and transparent.

Usually, I highly recommend avoiding for-profit nursing schools due to low NCLEX pass rates, but Fortis-Pensacola had a 93.85% pass rate for 2019.
