Or the death of another that was caused by an incompetent nurse. That will never be me. I'm withdrawing immediately. I feel like I'm running from a burning building.

With Nightingale, you will never see the inside of a hospital. All of your clinicals ( SOFE/DCE) are in long term acute care settings. Most of the professors are psych nurses or nursing home administrators. This is a disservice for those who have no patient care experience. I would not recommend this program to someone like that. It is mainly self taught with very inconsistent policy changes every term. The curriculum is not sufficient enough to train new graduate BSN nurses. I would continue my search if I were you or avoid remote nursing programs unless they have clinicals in a hospital( med surg, tele, L&D) so forth. You don't want to be that nurse who always has to go to court or the nurse who cannot keep a job because they make too many errors.

You are so right! Thank you for sharing your story. I haven't met a nursing student who doesn't complain about their program. I was apart of the unlucky bunch who had to transition to online learning in the middle of Covid. My saving grace is that I have been working as a CNA/ PCT in hospitals long before and after COVID. The self teaching is what irritates me the most and the fact that when students ask questions the teachers are reluctant to answer because they simply do not know the answers. I agree that most the learning happens in the field. I'm just praying this program doesn't go defunct before I get licensed. Best of luck to you!

Unfortunately, I am. I am in my second semester of nursing courses.

This program needs to be shut down. You will not learn much. The teachers will blanatly tell you to YouTube things. I am sorry but I am not paying to attend the Univeristy of YouTube. The teachers are very lazy as well. The webinars are pretty much the same thing over and over. The teachers will spend most of the webinar time talking about themselves and their nursing careers. In fact, I know more about the teachers background than the subject matter itself. Not to mention the fact that they raise the tution every semster. Med/Surg clincals are in a SNF (nursing home)... this is a complete joke and a waste of time and money if you really care about being a safe and kowldegable nurse. This school is ran by the same people who ran Heald college and look at the outcome.
