Hi there! I will be starting Nightingale in Jan 2022. I've applied, passed the entrance and pharmacology exams. The next exams I need to complete are the HESI for Med Surg and Health Assessment. I was quoted 57k for the BSN program because I have most of pre-req's done. 

I have some prerequisites done also, how long did they say you'd finish the program? 

Does anyone know the length of the program of you have all prerequisites done for nightingale? When is the fastest time that you can graduate?

I was looking into Nightingale also, but I was thinking of applying to another college located in Los Angeles. The admissions person for Nightingale doesn't respond to my emails, so I chose another hybrid program which is located in California. It's a brand new program, but they have been doing the LVN program for a while. Plus they are registered with the BON.

Are you doing a LVN-RN program? What is the name of the new hybrid program in Los Angeles? 

[witchynurse, BSN, LVN, RN]

Nightingale is also registered with the BON and are listed under out of state programs

I’m going to start on Jan 2022 as well. We should get each other’s numbers.  2 of my friends are also starting with me as well. Just waiting for my transcript to be submitted and evaluated. 

Hello how was the entrance exam ? Do you know what financial services they offer ? Like it is only sallie Mae? 

[AspiringRN2B, BSN, LVN, RN]

Hi! You can talk to financial aide. You can use FAFSA- the federal aide first and apply for Sallie Mae to cover the rest of the costs. The entrance exam is easy. Way easier than the TEAS. Good luck!

We have to pay for travel costs at the end of the semester when you have your clinical- BSN courses. But imo. It’s cheaper than Unitek. I was quoted 100,000 and that’s with all prerequisites done.

[Sniru510]

Is it only sallie Mae ? I’m not trying to use Sallie Mae have heard bad reviews with that loan servicer. 

[AspiringRN2B, BSN, LVN, RN]

You can ask them which loan service they will use. I went through Sallie Mae.
