There's also hundreds of students applying for the HOPE program applying and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee you a spot.

Yes but the HOPE program isn't hurting prospective nursing students who have good grades Like she said, no other community college has this program So if we get rid of HOPE program , all we get is less nursing students overall. If the HOPE program didn't exist then Delta can only accept 40ish kids per semester which makes it even harder to get in. And the HOPE program doesn't necessarily mean it's bad ppl as students. Sure it allows students with "bad" grades to have a chance to get into nursing school but that's overall a good thing bc it lets ppl get a second chance. The students accepted aren't unreliable either, manager recommendations matter a lot which helps the candidates credibility. As for ppl who go thru HOPE and leave to another state, it's not an overall bad thing. It still allows for extra nurses to be had especially during the current nursing shortage. The HOPE program existing does not infringe on the actual delta ADN program.Also some ppl might prefer going thru HOPE over ADN as it allows ppl to finish faster and essentially guarantees a job after graduation. You can't take the situation of one person (the one who leaves to another state) and claim it applies for everyone. And the HOPE program doesn't encourage bad grades. It encourages people who work in the community to be able to further their education and degrees

The HOPE program still has GPA and TEAS requirement same as delta that you need to even be eligible to apply. I don't think it's unfair It's allowing more ppl into the program who otherwise wouldn't have been bad. It's ppl who have worked in the hospital for a while and are reliable and usually its ED techs and CNAs they take in.
