How is the enrollment process going? So far I am from CA and Nightingale is one of the programs that I might attend. Is the enrollment process easy? Thank you in advance

Hey polar_bear_!
it’s very easy , it’s the smoothest enrollment I ever had . you call talk to an admission rep they email over all the info about the program . If you feel like it’s a good fit you pay the admission fee, take the entrance exams and pass, turn in all previous transcripts . At that point your basically in .

Hey! Congratulations on being accepted! I’m currently taking pharm 1MDC. Are we just taking the course And get credit or do we have to take the course and another test ? I’m living in Northern California and I’ll start may 3rd ! I’m sooo excited and ready to start . I haven’t got an actual date on how long it will take me because I’m finishing off more courses still .

Congratulations! I need to finish my StraighterLine courses asap! I’m excited to see where we will be placed . I really wish we could have all been placed for Las Vegas since it’s so much closer.

Thank you, I really wanted Las Vegas also and I'm very disappointed that its not an option for us. Im hoping that I don't get sent too far away and that I'm able to afford all of the travel expenses its kind of stressful but I'm hoping for the best.

Same here , I’ve been working crisis positions since last Summer to try and save for school. The traveling expenses are going to be expensive , I’m hoping to meet others from the same area and maybe get an airbnb or something . Are you going to test out for the two nursing classes ?

I was hoping to find someone to possibly share expenses with also. So much is still unknown so Im hoping that as time gets closer things will start to come together. I only paid to try to test out of the first one and I failed it. I only got 725 or a 740 ( I don't remember) and I needed a 850 with remediation or a 900 to completely test out. I wouldn't say that the test was particularly hard but it definitely wasn't easy for me and I usually breeze through tests. I've been a nurse for a little over 5 years and my primary job has been a school nurse and home healthcare so my skillset has been limited. I think for someone who has more hospital clinical experience they might do much better than I did. It's not even really a test that you can study for in my opinion and I didn't want to keep wasting money on tests that I had little chance of passing anyway. I was really hoping to test out because that would have been a huge savings of both time and money.
