Students who are laser-focused on becoming a nurse and want a straightforward, career-specific program in Phoenix will find this school worth a close look — but go in with eyes wide open. The relatively low median debt at graduation ($9,500) is a genuine bright spot, suggesting the program doesn't leave students buried in loans the way many for-profits do. That said, the median earnings 10 years after enrollment sit at just $26,400, which is concerningly low for a nursing graduate and raises real questions about what types of positions graduates are landing — or whether many are completing the program at all, given a 68% freshman retention rate that signals one in three students doesn't make it through the first year. Before applying, I'd strongly encourage you to ask the admissions office directly about NCLEX pass rates and full graduation rates, since those numbers tell you far more about this school's outcomes than the open-door acceptance policy does. If those figures check out, the low debt load could make this a reasonable path — but if the school is reluctant to share them, that hesitation is your answer.
