History
In the Spring of 2010, founder and Dean, Dr. Henry Olivera set forth with a belief: If an institution takes exceptional care of its students, it will develop exceptional healthcare professionals. That belief ignited what was solely an NCLEX Nursing Review and Remedial Program to what is now South Florida College of Nursing; a nursing school whose aim is to educate and empower healthcare professionals who advance the wellness of people across the nation.
In 2010, Dr. Olivera agreed to meet with a group of graduated nurses and assist them in passing the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). During their meetings, he provided free tutoring and support to help them achieve competency. By word of mouth, the group reached new heights and eventually flourished into a successful review and remedial program approved by the Florida Board of Nursing in 2013. The program has assisted hundreds of nurses in the South Florida community pass the NCLEX. Dr. Olivera took the knowledge gained from the review program and applied it to the development of South Florida College of Nursing’s curriculum and was utilized as an educational resource to assure student success.
Located in Miami, FL, South Florida College of Nursing (SFCN) offers an Associates Degree in Nursing, a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, and RN/LPN Review/Remedial Program. The college is approved by the Florida Board of Education, Commission of Independent Education and is proud to have had multiple graduating classes.
