We have 80 starting. How many students in your class started and how many graduated?

24 people started in my class, and 22 people completed the program. One person failed out of the program, and the other student dropped out because he was not doing very well academically.

Wow - that is tough! I don't know the exact numbers for my school but I think we lost 5-6 people either from failing out or dropping out...

we had about 50 starting and about 30 graduated. Most were rejoining the program with the next class.

We had 31 to start. Lost 4 total (2 for failing, 2 for medical reasons) and gained 1 person from a previous class. So graduated with 28.

Started with 29. Lost one immediately for not passing the med test. Lost another for acting crazy and calling one of the instructors and cursing her out, lost one at christmas. Only graduated about 16 because the rest haven't passed HESI yet.

We started with 32. Coming upon our last semester we only have 20 left. I'd say about 6 of those ppl failed and the rest dropped or were encouraged to b/c they weren't going to pass.
It's a small class now.

With our ADN program there is a long waiting list for 30 first year seats. Second year there are 40 seats. We graduated with 12 of our "original" 30 and 19 total. Our instructors could be very brutal at times! The school is WSCC in Scottville/Ludington Michigan.

Hi,
We had 24 start my cohort then we picked up 4 more who where from the previous cohort that dropped down to part time.
We had one drop back the first quarter, we lost one from my cohort with a year to go, we lost one from the previous cohort with a year to go then we lost three more but they ended up re-joining again, we had another one get forced to drop back just weeks prior to graduation.
My cohort start group grew to 28 and this June we had 21 graduate.
Here is to hoping that the other five, (that dropped back, two were 'exused') graduate next cohort!!

p.s. edited to add: We are a post-bacc MS entry generalist nursing program, (with a tuition of over 45K for 22 months...yeah, you'd think they'd at least try to prevent attrition!)
