Criticism

From 2009 to approximately 2012, Mikhail Shneyder worked at California's Heald College as the Vice President. Due to findings by the Department of Education of misrepresented job placement rates at certain programs of Heald College from July 2010–2015, the department made students eligible to have their debts canceled.

Accreditation

Although the official Nightingale website aggregates the NCLEX passrate,<ref>College Statistics, Nightingale College.</ref> the NCLEX first time pass rate is well below national accreditation benchmark of 80%<ref>Joanne Farley Serembus, EdD, RN, CNE, Improving NCLEX First-Time Pass Rates: A Comprehensive Program Approach, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S2155-8256(16)31002-X (January 4, 2016). "...the current benchmark for the. NCLEX-RN® and NCLEX-PN® examinations is an average first- time pass rate of 80% over the most recent 3 years."</ref> at 48.65% for the second quarter of 2017 and 54.5% for the first quarter of 2017.<ref>Utah State Board of Nursing Registered Nursing Programs NCLEX-RN Licensure Examination Results (PDF), Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing.</ref> UPDATE: 3d Quarter 2019 = 46.34%, 2d Quarter 2019 = 50%, 1st Quarter 2019 = 63.38%, and overall 2018 = 53.01% [1].

Former accreditation

Nightingale voluntarily withdrew and lost their ACEN accreditation on March 15, 2021.<ref name="acen">Accreditation and Approvals</ref><ref>Voluntary Withdrawal From ACEN Accreditation</ref><ref>ACEN</ref> Inc (ACEN), formerly National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, Inc. (NLNAC). But it has since been lost.<ref>Accreditation and Approvals</ref>

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."<ref>Notification of Commission Action Spring 2016 Accreditation Cycle, ACEN.</ref>

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."<ref>Notification of Commission Actions Spring 2019 Accreditation Cycle</ref>

The low NCLEX pass rate was one of three failed standards that put Nightingale on continuing accreditation with warning with ACEN.<ref>Notification of Commission Action Spring 2016 Accreditation Cycle, The program’s three-year mean for the licensure examination pass rate has not been at or above the national mean for the same three-year period.</ref>
