There is indeed a big drop in NCLEX rates in most nursing schools. My kid’s school went from 96% to 88%. But less than 80 might be problematic. Being in probation puts a school under a lot of stress especially the juniors and seniors. Usually what they do (because it is the fastest way to see results) is to restrict who can take the exam.
Even without the drop, schools are a bit stressed with the upcoming changes to the test. Professors are trying to tweak the curriculum and the current test exams to match the new style and they are a lot of wrinkles in the process. My kid had a few bad written exams the last year because the professors were trying to update them but it takes some time to get the questions right.
Can you share the name of the new program? There are some brand new programs I would definitely consider.
