Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), Salt Lake City, UT – Mar 28 2021 Nightingale voluntarily withdrew and lost their Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) accreditation on March 15, 2021
Nightingale Nursing College in Salt Lake City, Utah public image is a noble one. It is a progressive dynamic Nursing college which gives poor and underprivileged rural students the opportunity to become nurses. But the truth is that, in the words of the former IT director ****, Nightingale College is an "slush fund" that rips off their own students they claim they are trying to protect. As ****, **** and *** explains, Nightingale College repeatedly lie to regulatory bodies such as ACEN and ABHES that are created to protect nursing students and the public at large. Nightingale College's CEO is **** a Russian (Belorussian) who was vice president of a College in California which was shut down by the federal government. There is currently an ongoing two year investigation with Washington State Nursing Accreditors about these allegations.
From 2009 to approximately 2012, **** 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. Because of a lawsuit alleging that "Heald College...misrepresented job placement rates for certain programs". Heald College was shut down on April 27, 2015.
