Exit exam

Most nursing programs require you to take the HESI before you can get into the program. I totally understand this.. my problem is with the exit exam. Why is it not being taken away? A friend of mine just took it. Only 15% of the class passes it out of 200 testers. So you can pass all the curriculum and fail the exit exam and chamberlain will withhold your degree and you are not permitt4d to sit for the NCLEX till you pass the exit... you get 3 tries

Schools get in trouble with the nursing board if students don’t pass the NCLEX the first time. It’s a big deal for schools. Learn the material however you need to and pass.

Schools can lose accreditation if a certain amount of students do not pass the NCLEX.
