Florida Southern College
Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida, is a private four-year college with nursing pathways centered on the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Its program offerings include a traditional prelicensure BSN and an accelerated second-degree option. Nursing students complete campus-based coursework supported by skills labs, simulation, and supervised clinical placements at healthcare sites in the region.
The curriculum is designed to build patient assessment skills, clinical judgment, evidence-based practice, communication, leadership, and safe care across the lifespan. Students typically study adult health, maternal-child nursing, mental health, and community health before moving toward practice readiness. Graduates are prepared to take the NCLEX-RN. Florida Southern’s nursing program is approved by the Florida Board of Nursing and accredited by CCNE. Compared with some larger nearby public programs, it may be a strong fit for students who want a smaller private-college environment and more direct faculty support.

Programs
A BSN is a 4-year university RN degree, widely preferred by employers and required for many advanced roles, whose graduates are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN.
An MSN is a 2–3 year graduate degree that prepares RNs for advanced practice, leadership, and specialized roles such as nurse practitioner or nurse educator.
A DNP is the highest clinical nursing degree, taking 2–4 years, preparing nurses for advanced practice, executive leadership, and policy roles—distinct from the research-focused PhD.
A post-graduate APRN certificate is a 12–24 month credential that lets MSN-prepared nurses add or change an advanced practice specialty without earning a second degree.
