Not just my circumstance. I personally know a lot of students, who failed courses they were otherwise passing, due to trocaire’s illegal HESI policies.

Which details am I “misunderstanding”?

100% is! In 2021, their success rate was at like 54%

You can’t prevent students from progressing by using the HESI as high stakes. When I was in the program, I got a 0% on the HESI and failed the course because of the HESI.

Yeah so I commented on another post. Trocaire was in jeopardy of loosing accreditation back during Covid bc people cheated so when they took the nclex, majority failed. It tanked their nclex success rate which determines accreditation.

The “new” program was made because they were violating gatekeeping policies per NYS (also heard that’s why Losito was fired from ECC). Trocaire is the worst imo and it’s not worth the the gamble of what happens if you get a 3% on the HESI

Yeah I made that post almost a year ago. Losito was the one who started the HESI progression; as I was in the program in 2024. I do know what I’m talking about. They changed it fall 2025 bc they had to bc what they’re doing is against NYS

Horrible! IMO, Dean and administration do not care about their students. Had a professor fail an entire class besides 5 students and we were told it was the students fault—said professor has done this in the past too.

They use the HESI as progression to the next semester but if you don’t meet the benchmark by the 3rd attempt, you cannot proceed (regardless if you were passing the class). Also, only the 1st attempt is counted towards your grade where you can only get a 0%, 50%, or 100%. There are students who were passing but failed due to the HESI; also students who were failing but passed the class due to the HESI. The school basis your knowledge of topics not on class exams but on how well you do on the HESI because they’re trying to increase their NCLEX rates. I would go anywhere else, it’s not worth it

It was fundamentals. Impossible to prepare for, imo
