Nightingale College is a for-profit college, headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The college offers four nursing programs, the Associate of Science in Nursing, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, the Registered nurse-to-BSN Program], and the Master of Science in Nursing Education Program. The college has satellite locations in multiple states.[3] The college has consented to no longer admitting students into its associate degree program.[why?]
Although the official Nightingale website aggregates the NCLEX passrate,[4] the NCLEX first time pass rate is well below national accreditation benchmark of 80%[5] at 48.65% for the second quarter of 2017 and 54.5% for the first quarter of 2017.[6]
Nightingale voluntarily withdrew and lost their Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) accreditation on March 15, 2021.[7][8]
History
Nightingale College was formed in 2010, and was originally "training students while seeking accreditation". In its 10-year history, the college has graduated 1141 people.[1][9]
In April 2011, the college began offering the Associate of Science in Nursing (ADN) Program. The following year, the college was acquired by Nightingale College, LLC, a private Delaware limited liability company that was formed by Palm Ventures, LLC., a private-equity firm.[10]
Expansion
Nightingale has 18 "cohorts" in 18 different "markets" (states). It is rapidly expanding through out the United States.[11]
In 2020, Nightingale Nursing College started its first program in Alaska.[11]
Criticism
Defamation case against a whistleblower
In 2020 Nightingale Nursing College filed suit in Utah against a whistleblower who had created a website against Nightingale claiming defamation.[12] A second case was filed in Federal Court on February 19, 2021.[13]
Accreditation
Other accreditations
The school holds institutional accreditation by Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES),[14] and is approved by the Utah State Board of Nursing.[15] Nightingale College's BDN and RN-to-BSN programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).[16]
Unlike other more established nursing colleges in the region, Nightingale College is not regionally accredited.[17]
Former accreditation
Nightingale voluntarily withdrew and lost their ACEN accreditation on March 15, 2021.[7][8][18] Inc (ACEN), formerly National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, Inc. (NLNAC). But it has since been lost.[7]
In the Spring 2016, the official status with ACEN was "Affirm Continuing Accreditation, Change Status to Continuing Accreditation with Warning", which is explained as a "Continuing Accreditation with Warning: A measure imposed by the ACEN Board of Commissioners following the determination of non-compliance with three (3) or more Accreditation Standards. Next review and follow-up action(s) are determined by the Board of Commissioners."[19]
In September 2019, Nightingale College had a "Continuing Accreditation for Good Cause", which ACEN defines as the "nursing program has not remedied deficiencies at the conclusion of its maximum monitoring period". ACEN found that "There is a lack of evidence that the expected level of achievement for first-time test-takers during the same 12-month period on the licensure examination has been met."[20]
The low NCLEX pass rate was one of three failed standards that put Nightingale on continuing accreditation with warning with ACEN.[21]
