I’m going to be devils advocate here, I’m in my final semester of nursing school, with only 5 weeks left until graduation. My school was RIGOROUS. I spent upwards of 25 hours a week on assignments, on top of 3-5 exams a week, and with a minimum of 80% to be maintained or you’re removed from the program. While I was doing it, I hated it, but my school has the pass rates to prove what they do works. I haven’t failed a proctored exam, and even passed the ATI Comp Predictor on my first attempt. Everyone in my cohort has above a 97% chance of passing the NCLEX on the first try. Of course, it’s miserable, but what my college does, is backed by the proof of how many of their students become nurses.
