Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $75,084 five years after completing their nursing degree. The monthly loan payment of $156 represents just 2.5% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold for manageable debt. With a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.20, graduates owe roughly one-fifth of their annual salary. The 97.9% employment rate reflects strong demand for nurses in the Washington DC metro area's robust healthcare sector. Most graduates work in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities throughout Northern Virginia and the District. While the program costs more than community college alternatives, the combination of high employment rates, strong earnings, and low debt burden creates a strong return on investment.
