Our completion rate for the program with no interruptions is approximately 40%.

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?

There were 80 seats to start in my ADN program. We lost many after the first class. Then held steady til the last class which was Acute care. I'm telling you, it's because people don't fully understand basic physiology let alone pathophysiology. They skate by somehow through med surge classes. Then wham! Acute care did them in. We ended with I believe 44 graduating. At least a handful made it through after coming back a 2nd time.

ADN started with 70+ graduated <35. BSN we all graduated, except maybe 3 dropped out for personal reasons.

It wouldn't let me edit, so here's my edited version:

There were 80 seats to start in my ADN program. We lost many after the first class. That class was pretty much a CNA class where you were eligible to sit for certification afterward. A few I spoke with said they were leaving bc they realized with that class that nursing just wasn't for them.

Then held steady til the last class which was Acute care. I'm telling you, it's because people don't fully understand basic physiology let alone pathophysiology. They skate by somehow through med surge classes. Then wham! Acute care did them in. We ended with I believe 44 graduating. At least a handful made it through after coming back a 2nd time. I actually dropped out myself at the end of first semester and was a return student with at least 5 classmates that I started out with.
