Have you tried doing a search for these 2 schools in both this and the Florida forum? Found this thread in the Florida forum https://allnurses.com/florida-nurses/has-any-one-348991.html

Merely anecdotal, and my own personal opinion, so take it for what it's worth:

The Keiser located where I'm at is ten kinds of a hot mess. Instructors that don't know their stuff, can't get it together enough to give the students material that doesn't contradict and totally unconcerned about the wellfare and mental health of their students.

This opinion was formed after working with 2 nurse externs in my ICU, both attending there. Good girls, hardworking and willing to do anything it took, but routinely came to us in tears over the contradictory information, and even when we would help them ferret out the latest EBP, they were targeted by these same instructors for being "smartalecks".

One of them passed boards on her second try after 265 questions.

One of them took RN boards 3 times, didn't have the money for the refresher, and ended up taking LPN boards. I'm seriously encouraging her to think about going back through a 1-year LPN-to-RN bridge program to fill in what are obvious gaps in her conceptual knowledge.

Good luck, whatever path you choose, but go in with your eyes wide open. :)
