Bauder College NCLEX

What is their NCLEX passing rate? Can't find it anywhere.

Hi! The pass rate for Nclex is not posted yet nor completely calculated and listed on the GBON because its a new program. I just graduated in May from there and nobody from my co-hort has taken their nclex yet. But they will be using the first three co-horts pass or fail to decide the pass rate. The first co-hort finished December 2012, next was Feb 2013 then my group in May. I'm not sure if everyone from the first co-hort has taken their test but I do know that everyone from the 2nd has not. My group is just waiting for the BON to complete our paperwork so we can get our ATT letter from Pearson. But so far what I've heard was that people were passing they're test first try. I have heard of a few who did not pass first try. We have a 4 day Kaplan review, and those that failed didn't attend or possibly did not study like they needed or who knows??? But so far so good for all the others.

Thanks madenew! Any news about if the first cohort were able to find jobs?

I knew of some people who got hired at Shepard Spinal center, Landmark Hosptal in Athens, Grady, Piedmont and some people stayed at the facility they had already worked for. I think they might have been LPNs or CNAs already.

That's really good to hear. I was getting very worried because every job posting stated that you had to be from an accredited program and shepherds response wasnt do pleasant. They were wondering if we could even take the boards.

That's interesting since they hired 2 people from the first co hort. I'm not sure what to say about their response. However I can tell you that If you go to the GBON approved Nursing Schools you will see it states initial approval. That initial approval goes back to what I explained before. And I can tell you that I have personally registered with Pearson Vue to take my Nclex where I had to pick my school off of their approved schools list with the code. If you look at this link you will see the school code for the ADN and LPN programs. A lot of times when a new program is started their is a process for that program to progress and establish a specific status that would make them known by other organizations i.e hospitals, clinics etc. So I would tell you not to be surprised if people are ignorant to the facts that pertain to that specific program until they have completed that initial process of becoming established and known. https://www.ncsbn.org/NCLEX_Educational_Program_Codes.pdf

Thanks soooo much Madenew!!! You have given me more info than anyone else. And I do agree every other nursing program started out just like Bauder. It just takes a few years to get accreditation... Good luck on the Nclex!!!
