Wanted to get this forum started.
LadyVon said:I asked those exact questions when I met with my advisor. Yes, they are accredited and you take the NCLEX for California. There's a facebook group that I joined that is just for California students going to Nightingale that is so helpful. Nightingale College California Students. A question I asked on the FB group was those that currently attend NG do you wish you had waited longer to try and get into a local school and EVERYONE said they wish they had started Nightingale sooner. Nightingale was my last option and not at all what I wanted but I have to turn it into a positive as im older and don't have the luxury of time to ride out the lottery. In 2.4 years I'll finish with my BSN and a lot of student loan debt.
I had private schools as a last option for me too since I went to a private school for my RDH. I am starting to look into private schools now and my cousin graduated from Nightingale with little complaints. Best of luck to you!

ARC was my last hope of 3 this time.
I'll be busy studying for and retaking the TEAS this Summer and applying for what I can in August. 😭
What was your last score?
I got 85%, but am considering trying for a better score in order to also apply for Sac State
hi everyone! I got accepted to the program yesterday and had a question, I'm a socal based applicant and applied to ARC, but I see that there's a deadline by today for accepting the position and a mandatory online + in person meeting coming up in May. I'm still waiting to hear back from 5+ other socal based schools, as ARC is the only norcal school I applied to, so I wasn't sure if it was okay to accept ARC's offer today and turn it down in the event that I choose a socal based program in the future instead? Also not sure how strict they would be with my inability to attend an in person meeting on such short notice, I see the email says no exceptions but I wanted to ask here anyway. Congrats to everyone else who got in!
