From the Nursing Assistant diploma to the ACEN-accredited Associate of Science in Nursing, Cambridge’s Miami Gardens campus offers a full entry ladder into registered nursing with clinical rotations across Miami-Dade and Broward.
A nursing program needs hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, clinics, and other care settings willing to let students practise on real patients under supervision. Those agreements take years to build, they depend on relationships with specific facilities, and they are capped by how many students a unit can absorb without compromising patient care.
Nursing programs do not set upper age limits, state boards do not set them for licensure, and employers hiring new graduates are hiring for competence. Nor is the profession quietly hoping you will not apply. Look at how the workforce actually replenishes: the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects roughly 189,100 registered nurse openings each year through 2034.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing publishes an annual count of qualified applications turned away. In data released in May 2026, that figure reached 93,176 for the 2025-2026 academic year, the highest ever recorded. Two years earlier it was around 63,000. That is roughly thirty thousand additional rejections in a single biennium.
Why an 11-week phlebotomy credential is one of the most practical first steps in healthcare and how Cambridge mentors help you turn it into a Medical Assistant or Medical Laboratory Technician career.
The Florida Center for Nursing’s Florida Health Care Workforce Projections 2022-2037 found that registered nurse supply growth is on track to closely match demand, holding statewide RN adequacy near 93% by 2037. The RN pipeline is improving. Schools expanded, enrollment rose, and the profession is producing nurses at a rate the state has not managed in years.
Located in a Class A building on the Delray Medical Center campus, Cambridge pairs hospital-adjacent clinical placement with an ACEN-accredited Associate of Science in Nursing program and a credential ladder that reaches the nurse practitioner level.
The Test of Essential Academic Skills is the pre-admission assessment most U.S. nursing programs use to judge whether an applicant has the academic foundation to survive a clinical curriculum. The current version is TEAS 7. It does not test nursing. It tests whether you can read carefully under time pressure, do arithmetic and algebra without panicking, remember enough biology and chemistry to build on, and write in standard English.
If you have spent any time researching nursing programs, you have read the generic success story: an unnamed student, a stock photograph, an arc with no friction in it. It proves nothing, because it describes no one. The reader knows this, which is why it does not work.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to recognize what you are feeling, manage it, read what other people are feeling, and use that information to respond well. In healthcare and technology, it is not a soft extra, it is a clinical and professional tool.
