QUICK ANSWER
It is a career planning conversation, not an interview. Nobody decides anything about you. Bring your ID, diploma or GED information, transcripts, licenses, and your real weekly schedule. Ask about cost, clinical placement, accreditation, licensure, and whether the credential stacks. Plan for about an hour.

What 5 Questions Should You Ask?
Ask about cost, placement, accreditation, licensure, and stacking. These five tell you more than everything else combined.
What is the total cost, and what does it include beyond tuition? Books, uniforms, lab fees, and exam fees are often separate. Get the full number.
Who arranges my clinical or externship placement? Some schools hand you a list. Ask whether the school places you or you place yourself.
What accreditation does the college hold, and what does this program hold? Institutional accreditation controls aid and credit transfer. Programmatic controls exam eligibility.
What exam does this prepare me for, and what is required to sit for it? A program you cannot test out of leads nowhere. Confirm before you enroll.
How does this credential stack toward the next degree? If nothing sits above it, advancing later means starting over at full price.
What 6 Things Should You Bring?
You do not need a full application packet. You do need these.
Photo ID Government issued.
Diploma or GED info Or your school name and graduation year.
College transcripts Unofficial is fine. Needed for a transfer credit estimate.
Licenses and certifications CNA, LPN, RHIT, CompTIA. These can shorten your path.
Your real weekly schedule Shifts, commute, childcare, caregiving. This decides format.
Household financial basics Only if you want a detailed aid conversation.
The schedule is the one people leave out. Shifts, a second job, young children, a long commute. Those are not obstacles to hide. They decide whether on campus or online is the right answer for you.

On Campus or Virtual?
Both cover the same ground. The difference is what you get to see.
Pick On Campus If You want to see the labs, meet faculty, and test the commute. Best for hands-on programs.
Pick Virtual If You work shifts, live far from a campus, or are looking at online programs. Same walkthrough, same aid talk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as an interview? No. There is no evaluation and no decision made about you. It is a planning conversation.
Does scheduling commit me to enrolling? No. There is no obligation. Many people meet while still comparing schools.
How much does it cost, and what aid can I get? Cost varies by program and campus, so bring the question. Cambridge participates in Title IV, so eligible students may use Pell Grants, Florida state grants, Stafford and Direct Loans, and Parent PLUS loans. Some qualify for workforce grants or vocational rehabilitation funding. Start the FAFSA first, then check cost of attendance and the net price calculator. Aid is available to those who qualify.
Can I bring someone with me? Yes. A spouse, parent, or friend hears things you might miss and helps you think it through after.
What if I do not know which program I want? That is one of the most common reasons people book one. Your representative walks you through the pathways that fit your interests and schedule.
Will my old college credits transfer? Possibly. Transfer credit is evaluated individually against program requirements. Bring unofficial transcripts for a preliminary read.
Which programs and campuses can I ask about at Cambridge? Nursing Assistant and Practical Nursing at Miami Gardens, Delray Beach, and Altamonte Springs. The Associate of Science in Nursing at all four campuses. A pre licensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Altamonte Springs. RN to BSN, MSN FNP, Health Information Technology, and Healthcare Cybersecurity and Privacy online. Ask which start dates apply to your campus and format.
