RN programs in Miami, Florida

22 RN (registered nurse) programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

14 schools offer these RN programs with classes in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach area, and every one is approved for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.

Registered nurses provide and coordinate patient care and teach patients and their families about health conditions. To work as one, you graduate from an approved nursing program (a bachelor's or associate degree in nursing, or a hospital diploma) and pass a licensing exam for your state nursing license.1 The exam is the NCLEX-RN from the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, which the nursing boards of every state, DC and four US territories use in deciding who gets a license.2

In Miami, 2 of the 22 programs take students without a high school diploma, 12 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 8 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 22 programs here are RN associate degree (ADN, 14 programs), LPN to RN bridge (associate degree, 5 programs), RN bachelor's degree (BSN, 2 programs) and accelerated RN bachelor's degree (for graduates, 1 program).

How to pay for RN programs in Miami

WIOA funding can pay for RN programs in Miami

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.78

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.9

Where the Miami RN program numbers come from

Which Miami RN programs are on this list?

These are the RN programs with classes in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach area that are approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).10 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Online programs are left out here; they are on the Florida page. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what the area offers.

How the prices and results of Miami RN programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
