Nightingale College Fall 2020 Start

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hello!

I'm really excited to start my ABSN program in Nightingale College this fall. I have an AS degree in another allied health field but have always felt like nursing was calling to me....and so here I go! Anyone else starting this fall 2020 or has anyone graduated from Nightingale's ABSN program and wouldn't mind sharing some of their experience? I've done a number of searches but can't seem to find a whole lot of anything on them....

Mine will be about 24 months. How about yours?

I'm waiting for 2 more transcripts to come in but it should be about the same for me.

Hi!

I'm in the process of enrolling for the 2021 Spring semester for the BSN program. Did they give you guys a schedule already for the clinical site? I'm in California and was told I could be sent to any of their clinical sites depending on space but that they would try to get me sites as close to home as possible. Traveling doesn't really bother me, I just want to know where I'll be flying to waaay in advance so that I can plan for it.

So I’m a remote learner in clinical class this term. They have canceled on site clinical classes for 205 and 225 for the fall term so all my clinical is online, but their guidance said for normal on ground ddc learners they would know their schedule by the end of week 4 and remote learners would know their location and schedule for on ground clinical by the end of week 9. I have received only the first two week clinical schedule so far a we just started this week, I should have weeks 3-6 by Sunday night.

@Slamp Hi would you be able to tell me the amount of days included in your clinical? I am trying to decide if I will be able to swing this with my yearly vacation and want to know if it is a true "2 weeks" each trimester.

@ksgurl2 So it is not truly 2 weeks. I can't find the schedule now, but at the beginning of the term as few weeks okay they listed it out by each Clinical class. If I can find it again I'll post it. But it is actually anywhere from 5 days to 21 days depending on the class and that includes travel to the site and back. Only the last Clinical class is 21 days most were listed between 5 and I think 14 days. However, due to COVID this term for my BSN 205 and I been told possible for BSN 225 next term it is all online with all clinical assignments virtually done through TEAMs and video submission.

@Slamp Thanks for the info, I hope you find the schedule! that would help so much to know the amount of days associated with each class. Do they usually start on a week day? Wondering if I were to take Monday-Friday off for two weeks if that would that satisfy "14 days"? only if it started on a weekend I suppose.

What are the requirements to enroll at this time? I am also in California and don’t mind traveling at the moment. Thank you for your time. I am awaiting their call so I can learn more, hopefully tomorrow. I’m interested in the BSN program in Las Vegas NV.

Hi! I am currently in the process of applying to Nightingale's BSN program. I spoke with a representative at the school this morning. I'm very excited about it! I hope that it's a great decision for me and my future.
