Good RN Nursing school in Orlando???

Published

Hello,

I really want to start the RN Nursing school. I saw a lot of comments about Keiser. Some say it's good, others not so good. But everyone say it's really expensive and that Keiser was my only choise until now. I would like to know if there's another RN Nursing school in Orlando I could get my RN, and will I be acepted to go ahead and take the BSN later???

If anyone knows about the loans, if I automatically start the BSN right after the RN, can I pay eveything when I finishing the BSN???

Thank you:)

I've heard great things about Keiser, but I do know they are private, which means more pricey. When I was considering nursing schools, I looked up their information on the online website and went to information sessions which are really good. The colleges in Orlando would be Valencia and Seminole Community Colleges along with the University of Central Florida. I went to Valencia for all my pre-reqs and they have an awesome program... When I was there, they had a 1 year waiting list and that was almost 3 years ago, so I'm not sure how things are now. As far as getting your BSN after your ASN, Valencia and Seminole both have bridge programs with UCF that I think take about 1-1 1/2 years to complete which is very good. Regarding the loans, you'll have 6 months from the time you graduate before you have to start paying back.

I hope this helps! Just know that everyone program is different and it's best to research which school is best for you based on your needs. If you don't mind paying a little bit more for a private school like Keiser, you may get in a lot faster and not have to wait. But, if you want to go a less expensive college (Valencia, Seminole) you may have to wait because there are more applicants. UCF is another option, but is a university and requires more pre-reqs, is more competitive, and takes a total of 4 years if you haven't completed any of your pre-reqs. Hope this helps and best of blessings to you!

Keiser is a for profit private university. I would do community college and bridge into UCF
