Hundreds of nursing graduates could face an expensive return to the classroom after a California judge refused to give their college a legal shortcut around the state’s licensing dispute. The ruling against Utah-based Nightingale College means graduates still face uncertainty over whether they’ll need another semester or more of clinical training before they can become licensed nurses in California. Sacramento Superior Court Judge Stephen Acquisto rejected the school’s request for immediate legal relief Friday, finding its arguments unlikely to prevail.
