Suzanne or anyone,
I have been a nurse for almost 3 years (I love it). I have a friend who is currently working to pass the NCLEX RN he graduated in Dec of 2007. He keeps explaining that the NCLEX RN has changed and the pass rates are declining. I have recommended Suzanne's program for him to get focused. My question is are you (Suzanne) seeing this issue (declining pass rates) lately and how has your program changed accordingly if at all? I only ask to convince him further to use your program. He found out today he failed on his first attempt of the NCLEX RN, 75 and done.
Thanks

I do not think the pass rates are declining at all. Only approx 85% US trained and 45% foreign trained nurses pass on the first attempt and these are approx figures that can be found on the NCSBN website. If studying appropriately and practicing questions and understanding the rationale to the ones you get wrong you ave a higher chance of passing than doing very little studying.
