FNP exam pass rates

[jlcole45]

I realize that most fnp's are rn's first so there won't be any data associated with n clex. But has anyone seen

a listing of passes rates related to specific schools? Since there is an exam (AANP or AACN) then surely data is collected somehow. Any suggestions?

I realize that most fnp's are rn's first...

Are there any FNPs that aren't RN's? You seem to imply there is such a class.

so OP is referring to entry level FNP programs... where they gain RN license but lack prior RN experience.

Each school will know their passrate for all advanced practice licensures (CNS, NP, CNRA, CNM). These are distributed from the accreditation agencies (ANCC, AANP, NAPNAP, etc) each year back to the school. I looked on the ANCC website and do not see a breakdown of pass-rates by school).

Contact the coordinators of the FNP programs you are considering, and ask them what the latest passrate is (ask about the N of graduates and test-takers too).

Schools use their pass rates to attract students, but I would ask about their attrition rates also -to see how student friendly a school really is.

Attrition rates would be nice.. but I'd also like to see the average student gpa and standardized score... as some school have low attrition due to high standards.. while some use things like waiting lists instead of competitive scores and thus might have a higher attrition - but it does not reflect accurately if the admissions is not based off of scholastic competitiveness....
