Good job! I actually have to take pharmacology cuz I missed one question on one of the modules. =(. But other than that my costs is almost like yours. Just have to pass the HESI exams so my costs will be lower!

Best of luck to you! I attempted the med surg HESI once already and failed; I should've studied more. Do you have any suggestions on what to use to study for the HESI's?

So HESI and TEAS are needed for this school? When do you take these exams?

No just the HESI exams if you are an lvn and an entrance exam.

Hi everyone!

I'm also trying to shoot for the January '22 cohort. I'm an LVN in SoCal, so I have to try for the HESI health assessment and med surg. For everyone that's taken it - any tips and anything I should really focus on? Also, how's the pharmacology course?

They accept the CLEP for College Algebra. This is the only school that I've found that has an expiration on their math, so that's kind of a bust.

Hope to see you all in the upcoming class!

I’m starting BSN program this Jan 3 at nightingale I’m from Southern California. I’m nervous about this school does anyone actually graduated as BSN from this school? And wonder if anybody know how can we get an California license.

Hey Rochell, LVN, 

According to the school, it is approved by the BRN of CA as an out-of-state institution with an approved BSN program. The website updated because I does not show out-of-state-approved schools like it did in 2020.

hi! I know the January class started already, but was wondering if they gave calculators for the entrace exam for the fractions??? taking my entrance exam next week and freaking out about having to do everything on paper.

when I took the TEAS we got to use the calulator the whole time. 

 

also did anyone download the app they provide to study for the entrance exam!
