Practical Nursing, Vocational Nursing and Nursing Assistants at Integrity College of Health

Integrity College's nursing program costs $17,200 and leads to earnings around $51,000—but the small sample size (under 30 graduates) means these figures could shift significantly with more data. That caveat matters because the current numbers tell a story that's better nationally than locally.

The program performs well against national benchmarks, landing in the 79th percentile for earnings nationwide. However, in California's competitive nursing market, it sits at just the 40th percentile—below the state median of $53,040 and far behind top performers like Unitek College ($66,221) or Hartnell College ($63,321). The debt load is reasonable at 0.34 times first-year earnings, meaning graduates typically earn enough to manage their loans. But here's the concern: earnings barely budge over four years, growing just 1% while graduates at stronger programs often see more significant wage progression.

For parents, the limited sample size is the real issue here. You're essentially betting on incomplete information. If your child plans to work in California after graduation, the below-median state performance suggests they might find better value elsewhere—particularly at public options or programs with proven track records of higher earnings. If you do move forward, understand you're taking more risk than usual given the data limitations.
