Flag Review - Rating:
- I was looking into going to school here for the Vocational Nursing program and found out that they have only had a 68% and 69% pass rate for the state exam over the past couple of years. That is ridiculous! And now I hear that that pass rate only includes the students that were allowed to test, not all of the students that graduated from their program. What a rip off!
