Nightingale College 2021

Published

Hello everyone ! 
I’m so excited that I’ve found this program ! I live in California where all nursing schools are impacted, to find a program like this is a miracle .  I am finishing up the enrollment process now . I’ve notice that there are not many posts on the site for the school . Has anyone went to the program or planning to go ? 

Specializes in RN.

Do they accept straighterline ? The guy at the school was telling me they don’t accept it .. 

They don't. A waste of money. Even a student on here also said they don't.

I believe that was for their ADN program that they voluntary gave up.

I initially made this post to bring awareness that this school existed since California schools have been so Impacted for years . Just like any other college this program has its pros and cons but it is doable . Im in my 3rd semester I’m a travel LVN that lives near sacramento I’m working 48-70 hours a week , splitting time between my kids,home and hotel and still able to complete my courses.everyone experience will be different it’s not completely self taught . We have lectures and meetings and plenty of tutoring if needed . To me it really comes down to  how bad somebody wants this . I was a CNA for years trying to get into impacted RN programs and decided on lvn to get my experience . Now I’m in this program and will be finishing soon while some of my friends are still trying to apply to local colleges. Put in the work and get it done .

Thank you so much for sharing this post. I agree every school has its pro and cons and the only thing that will stop me from attending this school is if Sallie Mae is thee only loan they offer/accept . If you don’t mind me asking which loan servicer did you go with for this school ?

Hello,

I used the last of my financial aid loans which did not cover the whole program . They accept outside student loans if you can find one not just sallie Mae . I couldn’t get a loan so the school did a in-house loan through a third party they use . I’m only paying 250 a month for that loan .

I believe that they accept other private loans. It’s not just Sallie Mae.

I am from Sac, started this program, and HATED it.  Really felt like it was a teach yourself kind of thing and I wasn't looking for that. I was feeling like there was no way I was going to pass NCLEX. They made me take A&P over again and it was a straight JOKE. It was basically discussion boards and tests for A&P, and then you had to pass the HESI at the end or none of it mattered at all. I got out as fast as I could. Then, as luck would have it, I was accepted into a more local LVN-RN program here in California and the RN-BSN concurrent program at Arizona State so it all worked out. DO NOT RECOMMEND NIGHTINGALE.

Which program did you get accepted to?

What do you mean you had to pass the HESI at the end and none of it mattered ?

Yes, I was accepted to Nightingale, but I decided not to attend because, I had too much going on at the time. I wanted to give myself more time to complete more of the general education courses. Overall, I know several people that attended this school and have heard nothing but praise. But when I go on facebook, I hear the  good and bad. My opinion your success will depend on your effort. My opinion is anything worth having is worth the sacrifice. When I went to LVN school at Northwest College I felt I was self taught as well but at the end of the day it is what you put into your studies and how bad you want to succeed.
