Rowan College of South Jersey (RCSJ) Nursing Program - Cumberland Branch

[MyNameIsJeff, CNA, EMT-B]

Hey all! I've recently been accepted to RCSJ at Cumberland for their generic nursing program. I randomly had an itch to look at their ACEN Policy 29 statistics, the ones that show not just the pass rates of the NCLEX, but program completion, and they seem to extremely low. Roughly 20-30% average overall since they're "new curriculum" change in 2022. 

Anyone in either RCSJ program, Gloucester or Cumberland have any insight on how it's run from other programs? 

I asked on FB but the reply I got sounded so scripted it was sketchy. For context, I know of someone who graduated from the Gloucester campus program last year and noted a bunch if issues trying to retain and keep clinical instructors so a lot of his clinicals were split into 4 week sessions so people could rotate through, and he spent most of the rest of the time in the lab. He did say that they treat you like a paying customer so if you have an issue, they don't dismiss it and they look into it, which is fantastic. 

But any other insight? The program completion of like 18 out of 56 students doesn't look good at all.
