ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — Cambridge College of Healthcare & Technology’s flagship campus in Altamonte Springs, minutes north of downtown Orlando, now offers what no other campus in the college’s network does: the associate and bachelor’s degrees in nursing, on site, both accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).
The 23,000-square-foot facility was designed around that ambition. High-fidelity patient simulators, imaging and procedure rooms built with the technology currently used in hospitals and clinics, and collaborative classrooms where teams practice clinical decision-making together — the building is an argument about how nurses should be trained.
“Most students who start an associate degree in nursing tell us they intend to finish a bachelor’s. Very few institutions make that easy. In Altamonte Springs we removed the transfer, the reapplication, and the gap year. The ladder is in one building.”
Terry LaPier, President, Cambridge College of Healthcare & Technology
Why does the location of a nursing campus matter?
Cambridge’s flagship campus sits in Altamonte Springs, minutes north of downtown Orlando and inside the Seminole County hospital corridor that anchors Central Florida’s acute-care employment.
Nursing is learned in proximity. Clinical hours are the constraint that governs nursing enrollment nationally, and programs that sit far from their clinical sites lose student time to travel, lose placement slots to closer competitors, and lose the informal contact that turns a rotation into a job offer. Cambridge locates its campuses inside medical districts for that reason.
The Altamonte Springs campus includes innovation labs and simulation spaces with high-fidelity patient simulators and modern skills labs; imaging and procedure rooms equipped with technology used in today’s hospitals and clinics; and collaborative classrooms where student teams practice communication and clinical decision-making. Student support includes one-on-one academic tutoring, career coaching, résumé and interview preparation, and ongoing job placement assistance.
Where do Cambridge nursing students in Orlando complete their clinical hours?
Clinical education is an important part of preparing for a career in nursing. Through Cambridge’s network of clinical affiliates, Orlando-area Nursing students have opportunities to gain hands-on experience in a variety of healthcare environments—from hospital and acute-care settings to long-term care facilities, assisted living communities, and other clinical sites.
Cambridge maintains clinical affiliation agreements that support Nursing clinical education in Central Florida, including an affiliation with AdventHealth. These affiliations provide eligible students with opportunities to apply what they learn in the classroom in real-world healthcare environments. Clinical experiences and placements vary and are subject to program requirements, student eligibility, site availability, and approval by the clinical affiliate.
Exposure to different healthcare settings gives students opportunities to work alongside healthcare professionals, strengthen their clinical skills, and gain a better understanding of the diverse practice environments and career paths available in nursing.
How do students prepare before they reach a patient?
Before students reach a patient, they reach a manikin. Cambridge nursing programs use high-fidelity simulation — programmable patient simulators, scenario-driven skills labs, and debriefed team exercises — so that first-time procedures, deteriorating-patient scenarios, and communication under pressure are rehearsed in an environment where a mistake is a teaching moment instead of an incident report. Read about simulation training at Cambridge.
How do Cambridge’s nursing credentials stack?
Cambridge builds nursing education as a ladder rather than a single stop. Each credential is designed to stand on its own in the job market and to carry forward into the next one, so a student can enter the workforce quickly and keep climbing without starting over.
- Nursing Assistant (diploma) — the fastest entry point to bedside care and a proven proving ground for future RNs. Program details
- Practical Nursing (diploma) — prepares graduates to sit for the NCLEX-PN and practice as licensed practical nurses. Program details
- Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) — prepares graduates to sit for the NCLEX-RN and enter practice as registered nurses. Program details
- Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) — the credential an increasing number of hospitals prefer for new-graduate residencies and specialty units. Program details
- RN to BSN (online) — built for working registered nurses who want the bachelor’s without leaving the schedule they already have. Program details
- Master of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner (online) — advanced practice preparation, designed to be completed in 90 weeks. Program details
For students in Orlando, the practical effect is that a first credential is never a dead end. It is a rung.
What accreditation does Cambridge nursing hold?
The Associate of Science in Nursing program at Cambridge College of Healthcare & Technology at the Altamonte Springs, Florida campus is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN); the most recent decision by the ACEN Board of Commissioners is Initial Accreditation. The Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing program at the Altamonte Springs campus is likewise accredited by ACEN. Public information about both programs is available through the ACEN program search. ACEN may be contacted at 3390 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 1400, Atlanta, GA 30326, or (404) 975-5000.
Cambridge College of Healthcare & Technology is institutionally accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES) and is approved by Florida to participate in NC-SARA. Graduates must pass the NCLEX-RN to become licensed and practice as registered nurses. Full detail is published on Cambridge’s licensure and accreditation page.
How is Cambridge preparing nurses for an AI-enabled clinical environment?
Nursing practice is being reshaped by predictive documentation, clinical decision support, ambient charting, and automated risk scoring. Cambridge’s position is that nurses should not encounter these tools for the first time on a hospital orientation checklist.
Through the AI Resource Center and Cambridge Innovation, the college maintains college-wide resources on how artificial intelligence is entering clinical workflows, what it can and cannot be trusted to do, and where the nurse’s judgment remains the control point. These are institutional resources available to students across disciplines rather than a substitute for the clinical curriculum, and they reflect a simple conviction: a nurse who understands why an alert fired is a safer nurse than one who only knows that it did.
What makes the Orlando-area campus Cambridge’s flagship?
The Altamonte Springs campus opened as the college’s flagship with more than 23,000 square feet of learning space, and it was purpose-built rather than adapted. Faculty and staff are positioned as mentors and coaches as much as instructors — the stated goal is to move a student from “I’m interested” to “I’m leading.”
It is also the campus where Cambridge’s two delivery models meet. Students can complete hands-on nursing and imaging programs on site while the college’s global online division offers the RN to BSN, the MSN – Family Nurse Practitioner, and graduate work in health informatics and healthcare cybersecurity — so a Central Florida nurse can keep advancing without relocating.
“Central Florida is adding hospital beds faster than it is adding nurses. Our students train on the same technology those units run and rotate through the same systems that are hiring. That is not a coincidence — it is how the campus was designed.”
Gabe Garces, MBA, Regional Campus President, Cambridge College of Healthcare & Technology, Orlando Campus
What happens after graduation?
Cambridge’s Career Services team meets students during the admissions process, not at graduation. Advisors map the licensure and employment requirements of the student’s target role at the beginning, then work backward: résumé development, interview preparation, employer introductions, and job placement assistance. Employers who want to build a hiring pipeline with Cambridge can start at For Employers.
