I heard of that program. It is very unfair! Students that have earned good grades and actually follow the Delta College point system should only be allowed a spot. The criteria for the HOPE program is very unclear for the TEAS and GPA. There was an ED tech at Dameron who told me all you need is a TEAS score of 65 or higher and as long as she gets a C or higher in her science courses she gets a spot in the HOPE program allowing her in the Delta College RN program. She also said once she gets in the HOPE program and gets here RN license she is moving to a different state anyways. The HOPE program is encouraging bad grades and does not help with retention of nurses. If someone has bad grades you should not be allowed a spot in the program. No other community college has HOPE programs like that with community hospitals. That's probably why Delta College's NCLEX pass rates have been falling. They need to stop with these hush hush programs and should use the program funds for renovating these old hospitals.
