Last semester of Practical Nursing.. is this even fair?
Hi, I graduated in 2018. I thought it was a pass or fail. I never saw my mark. The process for people failing changes all time. Maybe you only need to re-write the exam. What did your instructors say? They would be the best source for info in this situation.

Last semester of Practical Nursing.. is this even fair?
Hi, when I graduated, the class after me had a very high failure rate. The people in the class were made to take the entire course. over, including the clinical portion. Most passed the second time. It is only the cost and the time that might be difficult for some. You still need to pass the registration exam which has changed since my graduation. I heard it is more difficult. Maybe you passed and just feel that you failed. You need to wait before making your next move. Good luck

Last semester of Practical Nursing.. is this even fair?
Hi, I liked the program, but the last consolidation course is very difficult. The material covered is like the review of the previous courses, but the application of the material is difficult. This is especially true for students with English as a second language. The questions on the mid-term are tricky in the wording. Things like"what do you do first" or "how do you assess", are questions to test your critical thinking. I would suggest getting the CPNRE test guides from previous years to study the rationales for the answers. This way, you get the flavour of how they want you to think. Many of my classmates bought NCLEX-PN study guides from different companies. They are helpful in getting the breadth of questions for the exam. I would also study the previous tests in the course as a review. I hope this helps.

I just graduated from the Seneca College practical nursing program in Dec 2018. The consolidation course PNC 520 now requires 400 clinical hrs and submission of 2 large assignments. In addition, you must pass a comprehensive exam with a 75% or over. You have 2 chances to pass the exam. If you fail both exams, you are given a third chance after the term is over. If you fail the third time you must repeat the entire course. I heard that previously, you were able to repeat the classroom but, now you must repeat the whole course including the clinical hours. The CNO web site shows that the Seneca students from the PT program have the lowest pass rate for the CPNRE for 2017, 77.2% on the first try. In addition to the CPNRE. you must pass the jurisprudence exam (3hr 15 min online, open book exam) before you are registered.
