The 12 month programs were seeing 50% attrition rates, which is why so many schools have done away with them. The 15 month programs are better, but still flunk out 5-10% and have 20% graduate a semester or two late. Nursing school attrition rates are a dirty little secret.
I'm sure, fwiw, all college attrition is terrible. The CC in my own town has a 10% graduation rate! Pathetic. That said, I think most nursing school talk is just that. Without disrespecting the OP, I can't count the number of people who told me they wanted to go to nursing school,but I CAN count the number who did. On one hand. I suggested it only because it seems like the OP has more pressing goals at the moment.
