Straighterline credits to Nightingale College?

[ttatum1001, LVN]

Did anyone take any courses through Straighterline and successfully transfer them to Nightingale College? I'm interested in starting the BSN program at Nightingale College and I'm looking to shorten my time in the program by adding a few more credits before the May start date.

I just spoke with my advisor today about StraighterLine courses . She said the school will be accepting them until April 16th .

Thats great, thanks for responding. I sent an email last night and didn't hear anything back yet so this is good to know.

I've been trying to get as much info as possible , have they told you which clinical area is available ?

I live in California and since I'm over 100 miles from any of their clinical locations I can be sent to any of their clinical sites but they try to keep you as close to home as possible. I was told that it would most likely be Salt Lake City Utah because that's where they send most of their California nurses but its not guaranteed. I was also told that Las Vegas Nevada was not an option because they were not accepting California nurses and they also had a waiting list for their clinical. I was hoping to get Las Vegas because I'm close enough to drive there so that was disappointing but I'm still moving forward with the hopes that it all just works out

Yes, my advisor told me the same . I really wanted Las Vegas since it’s a area close and I’m more familiar with . But I’m willing to go to Utah if that’s what it’s going to take to finally get into a program .

I was just informed yesterday that the current semester is the last semester that Nightingale will be accepting credits from straighterline. I just wanted to post this info for anyone else who might be interested like I was

Has anyone heard back if their transcripts were accepted from straighterline or study dot com? My advisor is giving me the run around when my courses have been finished since March. 

[ttatum1001, LVN]

I just heard back today that only some of my classes from Straighterline were accepted because Nightingale said that Straighterline doesn't offer upper level credits only lower level so like my Cultural Anthropology class from Straighterline did not transfer so that was very disappointing. 

[Ellie_futureRN]

On the transfer credit evaluation it says a minimum of 3 upper division is required. But it doesn't say that cultural anthropology has to be upper division. The only one that shows its upper division is technical writing. Did you transfer that class in? 

[ttatum1001, LVN]

No I didn't take Technical Writing 

[Ellie_futureRN]

I'm nervous now. I did take cultural anthropology at Straighterline but I also have technical writing that I made sure was upper division. Hopefully I get an answer tomorrow so I can weigh my options.
