How many people in your class?

PinkCupcake · Dec 16, 2012

My summer semester started with about 75 students. When fall semester started we were down to about 43 students or so which included three new students who didn't pass that semester with their starting class. I didn't ask if their failing was due to grades or personal/health issues that made them drop/fail.

I think it'll be interesting to see who made it through this semester. When we were getting ready to take our final there were a lot of students who were right on the pass/fail edge. Our program likes to weed out the ones that "can't hack it". The class ahead of me also started with 75 students and yesterday only 24 walked to receive their LPN.

From what I've noticed in my program most of the people who fail/drop have either health issues and they missed one too many clinicals (you can only miss 3) or they don't seem to put in 100% of their efforts to pass the classes. In my opinion it's one thing to bust your butt and fail and it's another to barely crack your book and complain because you're almost failing.

We began with 20 in our cohort, now down to 18. We all have lecture together, with each half of us going into one of two lab/clinical groups.

A lot of us already have bachelor's degrees, so our prerequisite class size varied a lot.

every year about 500 freshman declare their major "pre-nursing," and all try to get into the pre-reqs like A&P and chemistry, so those classes are all packed. about half of the students change their major once they see how difficult it is to get into the nursing program.

my school accepts 40 students into the nursing program each semester, and we all do lecture together. 8-10 ppl are together in clinical & lab.

My program has 62 people. For clinical, the groups are about 7 people each. Labs group vary from 10-20, depending on which day people have clinical.

I think there are about 60-something people? There were 2 theory classes for 2nd level last semester, which is where we are. This next semester, there are 2, as well. I think there were about 30 something people in each class. I don't know the exact number.

At my initial school we had anywhere from 200-600 in lectures, 25-30 in labs. When I transferred lectures we 40-120, lab 20. This was for prereqs

Total cohort for both campuses is about 100. We had 26 at consortial and main campus had about 75 (they had to cut back from the normal number of admits from 32 and 90 thanks to state edu budget cuts). Some classes had less or more due to part-time, retakes, waiting list students, but the 100 are the students enrolled in the clinical class this past semester.

My school has about 180 nursing students.. 150 attend one campus splits into groups of 75 in class we have traditonal and bridge students in one class and the other 30 attend another campus becuase they have a scholarship from a hospital that's is funding the educations with the promise of a job after but som far no one has gotten any jobs and they have to pay the"scholarship" money back. Not sure how many student les I will see in jan 2013. This semester was very tough.

Fall 2012 1st semester of Nursing school. 49 students total, because of the size we where broken up into two groups, 25 in one and 24 in another group. Midway into the semester one student decided to drop and starting Spring 2013 another student has decided not to return. So as of right now 47 students for semester 2 if very one passed all finals.

Started out over the summer with 28(on our campus) & by the end of july we were down to 10. Classes we took over the summer were nutrition & dosage calculations. Most people were failing & the others just quit coming. I think we're still at 10 after this semester(we'll @least im 1 of the 10). I think it will be all 10 of us come august

50-60 in our entire cohort. 30 people in each class (roughly). In our clinicals we are supposed to have 1 instructor for every 10 students (or less).

traumanurse2b? · Dec 17, 2012

90 people starting in our cohort in January, roughly 30-40 people in each class I believe. Ive seen 3 different schedules so far, so it could be more or less.

My class, that will be graduating without me this May (really bummed about that), started off with 33, lost 4 and gained a couple I think that the class now has 27 students going into 4th Semester. Each clinical group is comprised of about 8-9 students per group.

Now my path to ADN will take a little longer, but I'm certainly going to be far better off as a nurse having had the experience that I've had, and will have coming up, as I take my detour down the road to RN.
