As a group, Cohort 14, we all worked hard to make it this far. We are a nursing family and it is disheartening to see that some of our members will not be able to celebrate in that moment with us, when we all know how much effort was put in by everybody.
While we understand the process it takes to reach that point, we do not think it is fair that some of us do not receive a second chance prior to pinning, or are able to attend and be a part of pinning, due to the issues some of us faced with the test.
Glitches and issues with the test crashing are distracting and out of our control, and can affect our progress and process of completing and being successful on the exit exam. While some of us were able to over come that issue and pass, we need to understand that not every one tests the same. That is one thing we have learned about each other in the past 20 months, we all have different environments where we thrive.
Cohort 14, being the first group to test out the new curriculum, has faced many challenges. There were many changes we had to endure while going through this new curriculum, making it difficult for us. To add to it, during our last few months, a lot of our dates for important events were frequently changed adding to our stress, confusion, and panick. We have made many changes to accommodate the school, and the program, and are asking that the favor is returned to us.
Miss Franklin, and Mr. Montano, please reconsider your stance on allowing our classmates the opportunity to attend and be apart of the pinning. It has been done before, and we know it can be done again.

We should all be able to walk. It’s not fair that people’s test were glitching.
This cohort has been through so much with all the curriculum changes. It really isnt right to exclude people because of technology issues that were out of our control.
LETS WALK TOGETHER. Everyone worked way too hard to get left behind now.
For the last 18 months I have been studying and working with my cohorts. I was dedicated and never miss a class while driving all the way from Apple Valley. I feel one bad score on my last test should not deprive me of the right to walk with my classmates in the graduations. Therefore, I am requesting for the opportunity to graduate with my cohort.
hopefully the school reconsiders given the challenges this cohort faced since the beginning of their program
I understand the importance of having to pass the Exit exam, yet I feel that under the circumstances and the trouble some of our classmates faced during this said exam, shouldn't be the one thing that comes between us all and our pinning. We all had the blessing of getting to the end of Term 4 and being able to sit for our exam is a gift in all, considering our hard times, sacrifices, and other unspoken troubles. I believe we should ALL be able to participate in pinning because all in all, we did finish our nursing program. That's why we got to take this Test. I understand the importance of passing, and how it affects the passing rate for NCLEX but I think it shouldn't be used against our classmates when it comes to pinning. Please Mrs. Franklin and Mr. Montano, we all worked hard for this moment and would really be grateful if you could just let us all in.

The time spent trying to fix the computer was not given back to anyone and definitely added stress thinking you wouldn’t be able to finish in time. The environment should have been just focusing on the test but unfortunately that wasn’t the case.
