What are the graduation rates for students at Galen College of Nursing-Gainesville?

A reported student retention rate for Galen College of Nursing-Gainesville is 63%. Retention tracks whether students continue their studies over the specified reporting interval; it is not the percentage who graduate or pass the nursing licensing examination.

Prospective students comparing nursing programs should request outcomes for their particular credential and campus, including the cohort definition, completion period and NCLEX pass-rate reporting period. A completion measure based on first-time, full-time students may describe the experience of a working adult or transfer student poorly. No single outcome statistic can explain why an individual student stays, leaves or finishes.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Galen College of Nursing-Gainesville?

A College Scorecard field-of-study figure dated October 2026 reports $67,568 in earnings for the registered nursing field one year after completion. It is a reported outcome for the measured population, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for every Gainesville student.

Scorecard program earnings are typically median earnings among graduates with available federal records, subject to the measure's cohort and reporting rules. They do not capture every graduate or explain differences in location, hours worked, prior experience, job type or further study. Applicants should compare the figure with likely borrowing and with local nursing employment conditions, rather than treating it as a guaranteed return on tuition.
