I know one woman that went there. She said it was stressful and the attrition rate was high. I don't know if she's made it yet. In Tampa you might also consider ITT tech, Galen, and United Medical Academy.

Thanks for the response, I kind of thought the attrition rate might be high since they have classes starting monthly. But it's a good fit for me, it's close to home and the schedule fits well w/my job. I'd rather go to a state college but IRSC's schedule is just impossible for me so I decided to check alternatives but wondered if they'd be looked at as 2nd rate by employers?

I'm not sure how employers would look at Kaiser. I just told my new employer that my R.N. degree was going to be completed through Excelsior University online. I was informed that as long as I wished to stay with them, they'd be happy to extend me a position to R.N from LPN. I'd say go with what works best for you.

Hi, I work at Florida Hospital and there are quite a few Keiser nurses on my very floor. I have never heard of anyone looking down on this institution. The only thing I know about Keiser is that it is very expensive and many say it is not worth the $$$. Other than that I have heard all good.

Certainly the RNs who I work with from Keiser are very good and seem happy with their choice of school.

But if it works for you and your employer is helping you I say go for it.

Of course you will be able to start your career much quicker if you go with them and you will get more individualized attention.

Good luck.
