Where can I find a list of all the approved or accredited nursing schools in Florida?

There are two main sources for finding a list of approved or accredited nursing schools in Florida:

1. The Florida Board of Nursing (BON): The BON is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing nursing education in Florida. They maintain a list of all the approved nursing programs in the state, which can be found on their website: https://www.floridasnursing.gov/.

2. The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN): ACEN is an independent accrediting agency that evaluates and accredits nursing programs in the United States. A list of ACEN-accredited nursing programs in Florida can be found on their website: https://www.acenursing.org/.

It is important to note that not all nursing programs in Florida are accredited by ACEN. Some programs are accredited by other accrediting agencies, such as the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Therefore, it is important to research individual programs to determine their accreditation status.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that the BON provides a list of pre-licensure programs that are pending approval. These programs have been approved by the BON but have not yet received full accreditation from ACEN or CCNE. Students should carefully consider the accreditation status of a nursing program before enrolling.
