Fortis College in Orange Park

"Be warned, the cost of the RN program is $50,000 without any pre requisites. I applied to the program with every pre requisite done at SJR state but some would not transfer. 2 classes were 10 years old (human growth/development and sociology.) These classes don’t expire and have been transferred to other schools with out issues. College algebra I obtained a ‘c’ in and wouldn’t transfer. Biology with lab is a $1600 course at Fortis that they will make you take even if you have A&P 1 and 2 along with Microbiology and lab credits. After all this, I’m left with a $8000 tuition bill that must be paid while in school. Realistically, who can afford $300 a month especially with preceptorship which they claim will be 5 days a week for 3-4 months (other state colleges it’s 1-2 months, 3 days out of the week)"

"I am currently enrolled in the lpn program and am thoroughly enjoying it. All of the staff members and professors care and want to see everyone succeed and be the best at their career. I'm loving learning everything.and can't wait to graduate!!"

"I have attended fortis twice once for the medical assistant program and another for the Lpn program and both time I had a great experience. The instructors are very hands on and willing to help with any matter as well as other staff members. If your looking for a school that’s hands on and care about their students this would be a amazing opportunity. Communication is top tier for this school."

"As a former nursing student at Fortis College, I can say without a doubt that Fortis is an excellent college. Having a positive attitude and being fully committed is a must. While enrolled in the nursing program I felt like the instructors really prepared me in successfully obtaining my Registered Nursing License. I strongly recommend Fortis College because you will feel prepared with a sense of confidence in starting your new career."

"I am so pleased to have been a Fortis College student. From the President, Directors, Instructors to the staff have displayed great care about each of the students, in a very professional and informative manner. Each teacher has taken the time to understand the individual needs of the student, matches that with how the student learns best and truly cares about the students. This makes the learning environment flexible and adaptive. The school is large, clean, and following Covid protocol and this is important for me, they observe discipline, they know how to find an approach to each student. Overall excellent school and I would highly recommend Fortis College to all the students searching for a good school!"
