About This School
Arizona College of Nursing-Fort Lauderdale is a private for-profit institution located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with approximately 428 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $25,973 per year. Typical graduates earn $26,400 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for students who are laser-focused on becoming a registered nurse and want a small, structured environment with a relatively low debt burden — the median debt at graduation is just $9,500, which is genuinely refreshing for a private institution. That said, the earnings picture is a serious concern worth sitting with: median earnings 10 years after enrollment are $26,400, which is well below what most nursing graduates should expect and raises real questions about employment outcomes, completion rates, and whether graduates are landing full RN roles. For context, registered nurses typically earn $60,000–$80,000+ nationally, so that gap is not a rounding error — it's a red flag worth investigating directly with the admissions office before committing. I'd strongly encourage asking specifically about NCLEX pass rates, graduation rates, and job placement data, and then comparing those numbers against community college ADN programs or state university BSN programs in the Fort Lauderdale area. The low debt is appealing, but only if students actually graduate and land well-paying nursing positions — right now, the earnings data doesn't confirm that's happening reliably enough to apply without more digging.
