I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Passing NCLEX has more to do with your preparation than what the instructors did or did not do in your program.
I don't know... There's only so much you can learn from thumbing through textbooks or NCLEX prep books. I would imagine that if you don't understand how to apply the nursing process to real-life situations, things you learned in a lab or in a clinical from a qualified instructor, you would probably struggle on the NCLEX no matter how much prep you did on your own time. Not that studying isn't important, of course!
What is their retention rate? I have heard of programs that have only 50% of the students they started with by the time the graduate.
A friend of mine who went thru an ADN program had this happen. She said it's very common to graduate with half or less of your original class. She said there were 50 of them when she started and only about 20 of the original class made it through.

Okay, so I was looking up a few things and came upon the school I'm attending..
turns out, last year only 64% of the students passed the NCLEX.. the lowest in the state!!!!
should i be worrried?!!! Does anyone think this is curriculum based or poor initiative by the students?
