Are there any current nursing students at Drexel that could share their impressions of Drexel's Nursing Program?

Specifically,

How big are clinicals?
What is the co-op like?
What is the NCLEX pass rate?
Other impressions

Thanks

I am a drexel nursing grad. Before you enroll into the program you need to know it is the most vigorous program in the nation. Drexel requires you to pass a standarized exit test at a rate of 950. Recommended passing grade on this test is 850, so as you can see Drexel's standards are very high. It is a very stressful program and if you are not comfortable with standarized tests I would not recommend this program. There are other wonderful nursing programs in the area who do not require a high passing score on one test. If you do not pass at their high score, Drexel has the right to withhold your diploma and not allow you to sit for your Pennsylvania nursing boards. There is much controversy about this
in the nursing school world. Do your homework and ask the right questions when it comes to nursing schools. If I had to do it again I would not have attended Drexel.
