Im curious the usual progression of nursing school students going from start to finish. When i graduated practical nursing school we started witg roughly 30 students...11 graduated. I am a few weeks away from graduating this professional nursing program we started with 35+ and now on track to graduate 12 or so. We lost 6 with our last exam. What about you guys?

ADN. We started with around 80 and graduated with 53. Not counting those that were in the LPN-bridge program (which was around 3).

ABSN - we started with 32, and lost 2 half way through, but I think they graduated the following year. One was great in clinicals, but failed OB lecture by like 2 points, and couldn't retake until the course was taught again the next year. The other sustained an injury that made it unsafe for him to do clinicals, so he also had to wait a year to pick up where the program left off. Unfortunately with a program that offers everything once and only once, there's no much wiggle room to do make up work. Of those who graduated on time, we had a 100% first-time NCLEX pass rate!

We started with 24 in the cohort (VN program, BTW) and ended up with 18 that completed the program. Had 1 who came in from an earlier cohort (missed a semester D/T pregnancy), lost a bunch during second semester. About half of those that flunked out petitioned for readmission and passed on the second go-around. Ain't easy.

I am in my last term of a three year BSN program. We have lost two students out of about 30.

The Ashland cohort “lost” two....one was able to transfer to Portland to graduate and one had to leave the county for the citizenship process, but was allowed to complete the program early with the ABS. No one failed academically or dropped voluntarily.

Updating mine now that we're 3/4 of the way through (LPN program). We are now at exactly 50% of the original cohort set to graduate on time. My school allows for one term repeat if anything is failed, so keeping my fingers crossed that most will get through, even if it takes them a little longer.
