MCON 10 year anniversary

So the school had its ten year anniversary last night. It was a small little gathering with some of the staff and previous graduates and students. The school has been around MUCH longer than ten years, but I guess that must have been when they actually received accredidation or something.

The staff of the school is all VERY helpfull and excited about the school and the students. I was able to meet and talk with some of the recruiters and admission staff. The first group of second degree BSN students graduates next semester and they are all very excited to see how they do on the NCLEX. I too am excited to see how well the ciriculum is preparing me for the only test that actually matters. I feel like our program is very intense and hopefully they are actually teaching us what we need to know.

They are highly focused on the NCLEX and improving pass rates and we do a lot of reading and "critical thinking", there is also a lot of study material available for us to prepare for the test.

I bet that the Second degree BSN program has a higher pass rate than the college overall. From what I have seen we seem to be more focused and excited about the route we are on. . . . and we seem to complain less!!
