Daytona College in Ormond Beach currently does not have a waiting list. Come join me and our new Nursing Class starting in January 2016.

No, I don't work for them but your interpretation in regards to a school's accreditation and a schools nursing program being programmatically accredited is not correct. When researching nursing schools and colleges you need to review and ask the following: 1. Is the college licensed with the State of Florida? 2. Is the college institutionally accredited? (Example, SACS, ACCSC, etc..) 3. Is the colleges nursing program approved by the Florida Board of Nursing? 4. Is their nursing programmatically accredited? (ACEN, CCNE) 5. If there nursing program is not programmatically accredited, then where do they stand with being programmatically accredited? 6. How many students are accepted every semester and how many nursing spots are open every year? 7. What is the completion rate of their students in the Nursing Program? (how many students get enrolled and how many graduate from the program) 8. What is the placement rate of the Nursing Program? (how many graduate and how many get placed in their nursing field) 9. What is the pass rate for the colleges nursing programs? 10. Where are their clinical sites held? Which hospitals and local clinical sites have partnered with nursing program? 11. How long has their nursing programs faculty been employed? 12. What is the background of the colleges Director of Nursing? 13. Are their pre-reqs for the program? 14. Is there a waiting list? and how long is the waiting list? In order for a nursing program to be approved by the Florida Board of Nursing, a colleges nursing program must be licensed and institutionally accredited. By 2018, all nursing programs in the state of Florida must be programmatically accredited. Trust me, it matters where I go to nursing school. I ask the above questions and I did my homework with all of the nursing schools I visited. I chose Daytona College because they checked all of my boxes. Some of my friends are currently enrolled in Daytona State and I am not getting stuck taking 2 years of pre-reqs to find out there are only a few spots available to enter the final nursing core classes. I plan on graduating in 2 years and then sit for my NCLEX and become an RN.

I have been researching Nursing Schools in the Central Florida region for the past 3 months. I outlined the pros and cons with all my campus visits and I have to say I am very happy with my final chose. The nursing lab and nursing simulation rooms at Daytona College are top notch. Their nursing faculty are the same faculty you see at your local hospitals and clinical sites. You will be very happy with your campus tour and campus visit.

I recently got accepted into Daytona College's Nursing Program starting on January 16th, 2016. I am tired of the waiting lists and all of the Pre-Req classes that Daytona State makes us go through. I scored a 72 on my TEAS and then I met with the Nursing Committee and I got accepted after my committee meeting. My RN Graduation Date will be 11/30/18...cant wait.
