College with bad statistics?

I'm assuming you checked to ensure they are accredited first. Second I would check the grading policy to see if they grade on a curve.... highest score was a "c", does that make the highest "c", now an A.

I'm a bit concerned as you are about the statistics, but we started 125 and graduated some in the 30's over the two years. I was lucky to catch on and not struggle although many did. So my experience in the pass rate is similar.

However with testing, I was always well prepared from the lecture and assigned reading as well as the labs. Consider not challenging the questions but schedule a meeting with your nursing advisor and briefly review how you note take as well as where your study time is spent. They may have some good suggestions to point you on a track that gives better outcomes.

I'm sure some others will have great suggestions too, just don't go into a first meeting with the guns blazing ready for battle:smokin:

Sounds terrible. In my nursing class, most people graduated. It sounds like a money making scam, they collect tuition then fail people.

It sounds as if

1. you are not being taught the basics you need for your profession or

2. there is something else going on... possible scam?

Those statistics are horrendous, how does a facillity stay in business with students that long with those stats? Is there any way you can leave and find a better school?

Perhaps you could contact the Dean for advice. I agree that if you present your questions in a mature manner someone ought to provide answers. Also, I wonder if the numbers really are that bad, or could it be gossip? In my state the BON has a list of accredited nursing schools in our state and their pass rates. If the pass rate is less than 80% the school has to provide an action plan for improvement. Two or more years and they could lose accreditation.
