FVI NCLEX Success Plan
NCLEX Preparation Built Into the Curriculum
FVI’s nursing programs are designed around the current NCSBN test plan used for the NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN exams. NCLEX preparation begins with the first course and continues throughout the program.
Both programs conclude with capstone courses that consolidate prior learning and focus on preparing students to take the applicable NCLEX exam. For graduates and nursing professionals preparing to take or retake the NCLEX-RN, FVI also offers an NCLEX Remedial Course.
For a detailed look at how FVI prepares students for the NCLEX, including exam structure, eligibility requirements, and the 2026 NCLEX update, visit the NCLEX Exam Prep and Review page.
Students in the ASN Nursing Program prepare to take the NCLEX-RN. Students in the Practical Nursing program prepare to take the NCLEX-PN. Throughout both programs, preparation includes:
Achieving Nursing Excellence
The Associate of Science in Nursing program curriculum includes classroom, lab simulation, and hands-on clinical training. Clinical experience is provided through direct care and interaction with patients in a clinical setting. Students are taught nursing skills and clinical judgment in a controlled environment using high fidelity patient simulators. Students of our Miami nursing program and Miramar nursing program build confidence by practicing routine procedures in the skills lab and simulating crisis situations in the simulation center.

Nursing Curriculum

FVI acknowledges the value of prior education, allowing for the transfer of up to 24 general education credits. (see catalog for details).

Built around the lifecycle of a person, our curriculum follows a logical sequence that’s easy to follow and understand.
We prioritize evidence-based education, equipping students with the latest in nursing knowledge and practice.
Job Outlook for RNs and LPNs in Florida
Florida’s healthcare system depends on nurses, and demand continues to grow. FVI prepares nursing students for entry-level opportunities in a field with an encouraging long-term outlook.
Registered Nurses
Florida’s need for Registered Nurses continues to climb. According to the Florida Center for Nursing’s 2022–2037 Workforce Projections Report, demand for RNs across the state is expected to grow by approximately 26% through 2037. Hospitals, outpatient facilities, and home health providers throughout South Florida are actively expanding their nursing teams to keep pace.
Compensation for RNs also reflects their value and demand within the healthcare workforce. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national median annual wage for Registered Nurses was $93,600 as of May 2024. This figure represents median earnings across all experience levels nationwide and does not reflect the entry-level salaries associated with the positions FVI’s nursing programs prepare students to pursue.
Licensed Practical Nurses
Florida is also experiencing a growing need for Licensed Practical Nurses. LPN supply is declining by approximately 0.9% per year, while demand is growing by approximately 2.3% per year. That gap is expected to widen significantly through 2037, creating strong demand for practical nurses across the state, particularly in long-term care, home health, and outpatient settings.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national median annual wage for LPNs was $62,340 as of May 2024.
BLS wage figures represent median earnings across all experience levels nationally and are not representative of entry-level salaries. FVI’s programs prepare students for entry-level positions, and entry-level wages are typically below the national median. Actual earnings vary based on experience, education, employer, and geographic location.
