2 out 500 graduate on time from RPN in Seneca, ture?

[ElaineWang]

Yesterday, one of my friend told me that his wife went to Seneca to learn Practical nursing. There were 500 students registered in Practical Nursing, but only 2 of them graduated on time? Isn't shocking, is that true?

Check out Seneca's KPI (Key Performance Indicators) statistics that show how many students entered the program and how many graduated and are seeking employment or are employed. Each community college across Ontario has KPIs and they are recommended for prospective students to review to determine if the program they are interested in have successful employment rates.

Back when I trained the average class was 30 with usually 20-25 graduating. Three classes a year.

We had something like a 98% pass rate on CPNRE

Well to put this into perspective, when I started at GBC, we had maybe 200+ students in semester 1, over 100 of those failed or so, and we got new students from another school come in for semester 2 (about 100 from CALC), in semester 3 there was only around 90 of us, and semester 4 around 60? But some of the people did their pregrad in the summer so add about 20 to that.. The fail rate is quite high. However GBC does have like a 98% passing rate on the CPRNE for its students.

I would not believe everything you are told....500 in the program and only 2 graduated I highly doubt the College of Nurses of Ontario would allow them to keep the program if the success rate was so poor.
