Flag Review - Rating:
- If you are already in the medical field and want to get into the nursing program , you will do well. I had 10 years in the medical field and the program was a breeze for me. but I saw a lot of people struggle to succeed you have to do a lot of studying on your own.

- If you want a nursing program review the NCLEX results through the FL. Board of Nursing they are way below standards.
