Galen College of Nursing-Sarasota

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

The reported Sarasota student retention rate is 67%. Retention measures continued enrollment over a defined period; it is not the same as completing a nursing credential or passing a licensure examination.

Students evaluating completion outcomes should request the most recent published graduation or program-completion figures for the specific degree and campus they plan to enter. Ask which entering cohort is counted, how long students were allowed to finish and whether transfer students are included. Those definitions are especially important at a nursing college with both first-time students and transfer-in students. NCLEX results, where applicable, answer a different question: how test takers performed on the licensing examination, not how many entrants graduated.

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

College Scorecard reporting for the registered nursing field lists an earnings figure of $67,568 measured one year after graduation. It is a field-level outcome measure, not a salary offer to a new Sarasota student or a forecast of what any one graduate will earn.

The figure should be interpreted alongside its population and timing. Earnings reporting generally covers only graduates whose earnings can be observed in the underlying records, and a nursing-field figure need not isolate one campus, degree pathway, employer or work schedule. Geography, prior health-care experience, licensure status and hours worked can also affect pay. For a fuller comparison, students can pair earnings information with program costs, borrowing, completion and licensure results.
