Arizona College of Nursing-Southfield Outcomes

Graduates enter a nursing job market with strong demand, and 95% find employment. However, the financial picture is mixed. With median earnings of $34,657 after 10 years and median debt of $9,500, graduates have a debt-to-income ratio of about 27%, which is manageable. Monthly loan payments of $101 represent roughly 3.5% of gross monthly income based on median earnings. The 30% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle with payments despite the low debt levels. Most graduates work as registered nurses in hospitals, clinics, or long-term care facilities around Detroit. While job prospects are strong, the relatively low earnings compared to nursing programs at four-year universities make this an average return on investment.
