I contacted my cousin who has been a Nurse for 34 years (owns a home health care agency) and she's getting the information for me.

I guess that's not totally on my own, huh? Give me a while because I've been busy with 3 classes (grad and nursing pre-req's) and a family and I'll be more than happy to post when she submits info to me.

Thanks.

OMGosh!!!,

I was so busy with school and all...I forgot to post. Well, contacted the IL BON and was told the 2008 NCLEX pass rates will be available next week. Ther representative seemed a little frustrated with having to put the list together however I did manage to inquire about the pass rate for the LPN school I plan to attend; it was nice to know it is at a 100% pass rate.

I'm calling the IL BON next week to inquire about posting the information on the website. I did suggest revamping the website like Indiana so pre-nursing students (as well as those in nursing school) would have accessibility to the pass rates without bombarding the IDPFR. Once again, please accept my apology.

Whenever you are looking for the NCLEX pass rate for a particular school investigate alittle deeper. If the schools pass rate is above 98% the next question must be what are the attrition rate. There have been many hundreds nationally known nursing students who completed their three year nursing course work only to be abandoned based on a sudden rule change of their exit exams. In other words, if you cannot pass their exit exam, you are not allowed to sit for boards. Those who do sit for boards maybe only five of the students who completed the program with you. From those five students who will take state boards and pass the first time, are the only ones acknoledged. If all five of students pass the state boards the first time, well the school can advertise 100% nclex passing rate. But what about the other students who finished the program with you all and didn't pass a HESI or ATI probability test. A test that determines by percentage if you will pass NCLEX exam the first time. Our state and the school receives their funding by having a high NCLEX first time test taker pass rate. But no body wonders about the students who passed each nursing courses, paid their tutitions. No one wants you to know that the school abandoned those students. If you probability is less than 87% that you pass NCLEX the first time, they don't want nothing to do with you. They want you to spend more of your hard end money and repeat second year. Ask questions. Ask what is the NCLEX pass rate? Ask how many students did you have? How many students took the NCLEX test? Ask for specific numbers. This is your future. Learn from our mistakes. I hope this helps,

Thanks for the advice. Being and educator and advid researcher, I sought answers to the questions listed above as well as teaching credentials, school history, accreditiation, Articulation Agreements, tangible statistics, student support, tutoring, scholarships, and whatever else came to mind when creating a checklist. As students', we must make a checklist and seek answers to questions which will determine our success within any school's (Grad, Undergrad, Nursing, Technical, etc.) program. Enjoy your day.
