- Hiiii everyone! I made it through the first week lol It was forsure an experience and I'm finally getting the hang of the workload. Yes, I have roughy about 20 assignments per week and my best advice is to take COLLEGE ALGEBRA SOMEWHERE ELSE and don't get intimidated by the homework! Chip away at it and next thing you know you're done :)
Thank you for being on this roller coaster journey with me!

I'm a California learner at Nightingale, too! You got this. Just keep going. My first semester was rough, but keeping a schedule, stay motivated, and reached out to those resources. Good luck!
Thank you for the words of encouragement 😭 girl I’m on a struggle bus lol but you’re right keeping a schedule is helping forsure 😅
Is it fully online? I'm in California too and I wouldn't mind having to fly out for my clinicals/skills. I currently have an associates degree is psychology. Would I be able to get into the BSN program?
@@Gooby12337 it is fully online other than the clinical. And as far as I know, yes, you can. Give them a call. They really are great and help so much. I spoke with Athena when signing up and she was amazing. They answered all of my questions.
@@Gooby12337fully online, except for the clinical/preceptorship. I work at UC Davis and there is a bunch of LVNs who are RNs now, or currently doing it. Like I know 12 people doing it. I’m going to be starting in fall 2024 (September) and I’m so excited.
@@AleeMun0608Nice! I did a bunch of research and I'll be starting in September as well!
Hi, I’m also a Nightingale student I mean learner lol! This was my first week as well and it was very stressful and the Algebra is definitely no joke ! All I can say is stay on track and definitely try to plan ahead with the amount classes you have. Good luck girl, you got this!
Hey! Omg yes the workload is so much which is crazy… finally getting my routine on handling these classes 😅. Thank you and you too girly!
How far are you into your program??
Hi! Love your video! I'm also at CAL and wanted to apply to Nightingale. Just finished the interview with one of the recruiter. May I ask do you get FAFSA to cover your tuition? And do you get subsidized and unsubsidized loans? The interviewer told me I might need to take out private loans to pay for the tuition which makes me hesitate to continue the application process.
Hi! I do have FAFSA but it has never covered my tuition fully for my LVN program at Unitek and the BSN program at Nightingale College unfortunately… I’m currently using the GI BILL from the military to pay for the BSN program.
For my LVN program which was $35k in 2018 I did do a loan with my parents because I was only 19 at the time and didn’t have enough credit. We went through EdFinancial as the loaner. I didn’t pay it while I was in school and only began paying it after I graduated!
Don’t be discouraged by the amount tbh it’s a sacrifice for the big reward at the end! Nursing school is expensive especially going to a private college but a big gain once you earn that CA RN paycheck and pay it off.
Good luck and I wish you all the best in your journey to nursing!
Hi, first off congratulations on the big step to a better career and lifestyle for your family. Question… do you have to take an entrance exam for the school? How was that? Do they require any college? I’m not an LVN and don’t have any hospital experience.
Hi! Thank you and the entrance exam is generic (English, Reading and Math) they call it the ACUPLACER and you get 3 attempts to pass.
I advise you get all your prerequisites done at a community college for the simple fact that it’s much cheaper. BUT no it’s not required to get into Nightingale College you would just take all the prerequisites and general education classes with them which will take about 3-4 years to completely finish with your BSN.
Hope this helps!
Thank you 😊
Hi, I am in a current LVN program and set to graduate Jan 2025 and I would like to do nightingale BSN program. But I’m clueless about everything because this isn’t something I’m use to. Are your assignments self paced? Is there someone who can help if you can questions? How often do you have to travel and how long is the travel? Thank you answering my questions!
Hey! So the assignments are self-paced but have a deadline that they are due each week. It’s exactly like taking online classes, you have real professors and can talk to them/ask questions through CANVAS or during their office hours online through TEAMS. I travel once a semester for a week. On the website they have the list of BSN classes that require travel for clinicals. The last nursing class is BSN 395 and it’s 135 clinical hours so you’ll be gone for about 3 weeks to do those hours of preceptorship.
Watch my video on - NIGHTINGALE PROS & CONS for more details!
can i get ahead on assignments and how are they if you don't show up for the mandatory webinar? I thought they were recorded and you can watch it later. what if you need to be out of the country for 2 weeks do you think they would allow that?
Hi! so far I've been able to watch the pre-recorded webinars and be fine, there's a code you have to put to be counted for in attendance thats in the video. If you're going to be out of the country you need to talk to your counselor/strtegist because you'll need to get access to the school's VPN to get into CANVAS. You can't get ahead of assignments because they're locked until the week for it starts!
Hello, did you verify with BRN if Nightingale college is accredited? Ive heard they have a lot of CA learners but i just want to make sure before I start?
Hi! Nightingale College is registered in California as an out-of-state institution by the Bureau for Private
Postsecondary Education.
I wouldn’t spend such a large amount of money on a school that’s not accredited at the state I’m living at lol that would be crazy😂 . There are also many students who recently graduated from Nightingale and had no issues sitting for the NCLEX :)
Hope this helps!
@@student_jenn YOU’RE THE BEST !!!’thank youuuu ! I know, i just have trust issues cus BRN take forever to reply
Would I be able to get into this program with an associates degree in psychology? I have most nursing pre-reqs done as well. I would only need Chem, physiology, and microbiology.
Submit your transcripts and they’ll do an evaluation of what else is missing! I can’t say exactly if you would need or not need any other classes because everyone’s program plan are different. But to answer your question anyone can get into Nightingale just need to take the nursing classes and GE classes required
@@student_jennAwesome! Thanks so much!
Is there a way for people who work like urself to have classes on their off days? I know u mentioned ur class was on Monday… say for me I work Mondays, would Tuesday be an option?
Hi! Yes there like 4 days with times you can go on to get on the live webinar . Even if you can’t get on the live webinar you would just do a discussion post to gain the points
Can you do this program if you live in Oregon? Is it accredited? How does taking the NCLEX work after ?
I’m actually not sure since I live in California so I think you would have to call admissions and ask…sorry! It’s different for every state and they’re pretty good about letting future learners know if they’re accredited with where you’ll be.
So to sit for the NCLEX in California I would submit a transcript from Nightingale College and complete the application through the official BRN portal. Each state has their own BRN website and it usually states how to apply to take the exam for out of state nursing programs. Hope this helps!
This was so short & sweet!
I’m taking that as a compliment lol thank you!
@@student_jenn it is!! Straight to the point lol and calming I loved it !!!
Hi Jenn ❤️ can you work while doing the program? I'm a LVN but I work on the weekends..
Yes you can! I work full time Monday-Friday see my new video for any questions you might have maybe I covered it :)
Did you test out of anything? Like the HESI’s? Or pharmacology?
Hi! Yes I tested out of Health Assessment and Med Surg HESI and took the Pharmacology 1 course before I started 😅
What were the prerequsites for LVN-BSN?
hey! so they don't have an LVN to BSN program available to California students. It's just a BSN program, the prerequisites are the same anywhere else with having completed anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, nutrition, college algebra, statistics, english, public speaking etc. having an LVN license gave me an automatic 10 credits applied towards the program. The list of pre-requisites are in their website and in total i transfered 57 college credits and passed 2 HESI's that put me to 5 semesters until I graduted with my BSN.
Hope this helps!
Goodluck... I believe you can do it..
Thank you Tita!🤍
Love watching your videos!!
Thank you sis💕
are you still in the program
yes i am!
