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, the NCLEX first time pass rate is well below national accreditation benchmark of 80% at 48.65% for the second quarter of 2017 and 54.5% for the first quarter of 2017. This low NCLEX pass rate was one of three failed standards that put Nighintgale on continuing accreditation with warning with ACEN.
