SEE Score Requirement

offlabel · Dec 13, 2022

Never heard of such a thing...sounds like the program is hedging it's bets against low NBCRNA certification test passing rates hoping a good SEE score will mean passing the cert test. I'd bring this concern to COA (council on accreditation) and see what they say. If the school uses the SEE as a surrogate metric to award your certificate of completion, it may be kosher.

And I would expect the SRNA to pay for the exam. Who else would?

No I think that the issue is requiring a 450 from a school who's didactics are historically bad, as well as the NBCRNA data from 2019/2020 passing NCE correlates with a 437/443 respectively. The haven't allowed them to take the see until a month before graduation and then when students have made scores in the 440s (a great score and indicates a passing NCE) the admin is still forcing students who are past their graduation date to continue to take it and pay 250.00 out of pocket. these students do not have 250.00 to keep dropping when its technically unnecessary. I digress, I understand this is ultimately the admin to decide what is a successful completion, I was just wondering if this is something that other schools do to their students.

Again, sounds like an issue for the COA...

What does the course curriculum say? If this is some type of new requirement that wasn't part of the curriculum when you started then you may have a point of argument. If it's in the curriculum as a requirement you'll just had to deal with it.

the issue is that they have changed the curriculum and student handbook a total of 3 times in two years as well as amendments, all students were instructed to sign the new policies without recourse
