Ok so I'm a freshman beginning my second semester at a pretty small school. When I was applying for school, I thought I would be a Biology major, so I didn't check into the NCLEX pass rates, etc. When I changed my major, I began to research and found that the school I'm at only has a pass rate of about 74% for the past few years. It is a very small school and only about 30 people are accepted into the nursing program each semester.
So, I did more research and discovered that the college in my hometown has had a NCLEX pass rate 95% and up the last 5 years. This past year it was 100%, can't beat that.
So..I have no clue what to do and I feel like I have no one to talk to about this decision (neither of my parents went to college & I don't have any siblings).
I also have heard that the program at the school I'm at has no Pharmacology class and many people are unhappy with the program. But I don't know who I should approach for more information. I could go to the Chair of the Nursing Program, but honestly, I wouldn't know how or what to say to her (& she's my professor for the intro to nursing class I'm in now..awkard)
PLEASE HELP! Where should I go?
