Located on UCF’s Academic Health Sciences Campus in Lake Nona, in Orlando, Florida, a hub for healthcare innovation.
Student Success
UCF has prepared me to not only succeed in the classroom and beyond with clinical skills, but to connect and advocate for patients – how to be the kind of nurse that always puts the patient first.
Meet Jenna ’25BSN, Order of Pegasus Awardee
I chose UCF because it’s relatively local, it has an on-campus skills lab and is not solely online, it has professors who are active clinicians and nurse practitioners, and its graduates have a high pass rate on the board certification exams.
