nurse2018-

What are your experiences with students going into another program after failing a class in their program? Of course, they have to start again. This particular program, in another cohort, also lost a couple in their senior year. I’m worried about being almost finished and not making it because the student debt is enormous. So my question is really how many successful CRNA’s have you met that made it after the second try?

I am currently in a program that is losing students left and right. Started with 21 and down to 17 just 2 semesters in. I’m considering switching programs because I myself almost didn’t make it. We have some exams that the entire class average is well below passing. It’s a tough spot because I know I would have to start over elsewhere. But if I fail out, would another program accept me with the school having such a high attrition rate? A few of those that didn’t make it are also looking in to other programs. Any advice would be helpful.

It is usually the juniors that participate in interviews but we were kept far away because of the uprising in our class. They handpicked several seniors to give positive feedback. We have lost 4 people in 2 semesters, making the attrition rate already 20% only 2 semesters in. The instructors provide no support and take a “gotcha” mentality towards the students. The director of the program commented she doesn’t feel she’s doing her job if she doesn’t fail people. And those of us still in it are barely holding on each semester despite putting hundred + hours of study into each exam.

Yes, and unfortunately chose this program.

Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Their attrition rate is already at 20% for the newest class and going up. Most unsupportive program.

Anyone know when they will be making the acceptance calls? So nervous!

Thank you for the response! Hopefully someone will update when the calls are being made.

Anyone applying for the 2018 class at LMU? Also, just wondering when they may send out interview letters? Thanks!
