Nightingale College, located in Salt Lake City, Utah is a for-profit college which educates registered nurses. The College is a proprietary post-secondary institution and offers three education programs, the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Program, the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing (BDN) Program and the RN-to-BSN Program. The college has satellite locations in three states.

Although the official Nightingale website aggregates the NCLEX passrate,[1] the NCLEX first time pass rate is well below national accreditation benchmark of 80%[2] at 48.65% for the second quarter of 2017 and 54.5% for the first quarter of 2017.[3] This low NCLEX pass rate was one of three failed standards that put Nighintgale on continuing accreditation with warning with ACEN.[4]

History

Nightingale College was formed in 2010, and was originally "training students while seeking accreditation".[5]

In April 2011, the College began offering the Associate of Science in Nursing (ADN) Program.

In December 2012 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.[6]

Accreditation

Accreditation Commission for Education (ACEN)

Nightingale College’s Associate Degree Nursing Program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing[7] Inc (ACEN), formerly National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, Inc. (NLNAC). As of Spring 2016, the official status with ACEN is "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."[8]

Other accreditations

The school holds institutional accreditation by Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools (ABHES),[9] and is approved by the Utah State Board of Nursing.[10] Nightingale College's BDN and RN-to-BSN programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).[11]

Unlike other more established nursing colleges in the region, Nightingale College is not regionally accredited.[12]
