Despite looming campus closure, Penn State DuBois launches new nursing program
DUBOIS, Pa. (WTAJ) — Despite the recent announcement that Penn State will be closing the DuBois campus, there will be a new licensed practical nursing (LPN) program launching in the fall. The non-credit 18-month certificate program will launch on August 18 and is set to offer a part-time path for students who want to enter the nursing profession. This comes just weeks after the Penn State University Board of Trustees voted to close seven commonwealth campuses, including the one where the new program will take place. According to a release, courses will be held in the DEF building on the DuBois campus on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. They added that students will get hands-on experience and take part in clinical rotations every weekend at local healthcare facilities. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: 'No point in waiting,' PSU trustees vote to close DuBois, 6 other campuses 'We've already had an overwhelming response as the news of our program got out,' Nicki Dufour, program coordinator, said. 'We have more than 30 potential participants and are excited to add to that total now that we have the final approval to move forward.' The program hopes to prepare students to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN), a requirement to earn licensure in all 50 states. To apply, interested individuals must complete an online interest form. Applicants will be contacted about the next steps, which include submitting two professional letters of reference and a one-page essay describing their motivation to become a nurse. It's unclear at this time when exactly the campus will close, but Penn State has previously stated that help and options will be provided to both students and staff when the time comes. The recommendation to close the campus came after 'persistent and compounding structural challenges' that didn't make the campus viable for the long term. In an official report, they said they've also seen a 46% decrease in enrollment over the last decade and that there is little sign that it will increase. The committee that made recommendations to close DuBois, Fayette, Mont Alto, New Kensington, Shenango, Wilkes Barre and York campuses looked at enrollment trends, demographic forecasts, student outcomes, financial performance, housing occupancy, capital investment needs and geographic proximity to make their determination.

Archer Review Bridges the Preparation Gap for NCLEX Test Takers
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The NCSBN has released the NCLEX pass rates for Q1 of 2025 (January - March). Compared to Q1 of 2024, NCLEX pass rates have dropped in all categories. With large scale drops in both first time test takers and with internationally educated test takers. Archer Review Bridges the Preparation Gap for NCLEX test takers. Students using Archer Review continue to pass at 99+% compared to dropping NCLEX pass rates across the rest of the market. When the NCSBN first launched Next Generation NCLEX (or NGN), pass rates jumped substantially. But now with rates slipping again, it showcases that these newer cohorts of students need additional assistance in preparing for the NCLEX, especially those that are repeat test takers or were internationally educated. First time US Educated test takers saw a drop of 5.78% from 94.15% to 88.37% First time Internationally educated test takers saw a drop of 12.22% from 58.77% to 46.55% Internationally educated repeat test takers saw the largest drop of 13.90% from 44.05% to 30.15% Because of the high NCLEX pass rates when Next Generation NCLEX was first launched, many students and schools assumed that only a question bank (or qbank) was needed to properly prepare the exam. However, with the significant drop in pass rates it is important to note that other study tools can help students pass at higher rates. Archer Review not only offers a comprehensive qbank but also has a variety of other prep products to help raise students' confidence, cover areas there may be education gaps and to help support students with different learning styles. Additionally Archer Review has a 99% pass rate for students that score at least 'high' on 4-consecutive readiness examinations. 'Every student deserves a fair shot at success, no matter where they start,' said Director of Nursing at Archer Review Rachel Taylor, 'That's why we're committed to dismantling barriers in nursing education with accessible tools and inclusive strategies that meet learners where they are." Sure PASS includes Qbank access, 65 unfolding case studies, access to live rapid review webinars, and a fully structured study path to help students know exactly where to start when prepping, We also offer private tutoring for students that may need more 1-on-1 education opportunities. With dozens of free webinars and other products like intense prep, Archer Review hopes to help bridge the gap for students that may feel less than confident going into their NCLEX exam. "Innovation in nursing education isn't about flash but function,' said Morgan Taylor, Chief Nursing Officer at Archer Review, 'It's about giving students what actually works when they need it most. Archer Review blends technology, mentorship, and strategy to deliver real outcomes, not just promises." Reports on NCLEX statistics are presented by the NCSBN on a quarterly basis to review the previous quarter's performance results. The next quarter, April through June, will present results from the greatest number of students that take the test throughout the year, including the most recent graduates from the spring 2025 semester.
