Do not think that your practices will go unnoticed, ultimately this will impact future students enrolling in the nursing program/ school.

The National average passing rate for Nursing students is 76%. Most schools with exit exams passing scores are between 800 & 850. The 900 that is required by your Nursing Department seems unattainable by most students. Therefore, failing students based on unattainable goals seems that this was just a random number selected and not carefully thought out.
I urge all of you, Mr. President, Dean of Academic affairs and others to take a close look at your students success.
Students should not be thrown along the wayside at the end of their studies. It does not reflect sound academic judgment. Moreover, this decision is crude and ruthless and does not give hope to these young individuals.
Your standards are very high and I applaud you for that, however, think about the lives and the economic impact this decision has on each student and their poor families.
Policies were made and in the same token policies need to be revised inorder to make right.
Again I must say that all parents and families are equally appalled by the above policy.
The HESI exam is by no means a great predictor of students success or failure in the NCLEX examination. There is no raw data analysis to substantiate this.

Please allow students who have worked hard to maintain academic success through their entire enrollment in the nursing program, and scored at least an 850 or better on exit exam to graduate. After all, the scores are only predictors. You have to believe in the preparation at some point. There has to be a better way to measure success without this type of disappointment. Please look at the bigger, these are the students that you will be asking to give to the university upon completion, and you want them to be proud about the quality if education they received. I am aware of the importance of these predictor exams and i am also aware of the importance of first time success on NCLEX, but there is nothing to prove by setting the bar so that students can't attain. Please take take the time to listen to them, and support change. Nursing students are very smart and are held at a standard like no other; therefore something has to be done prior to students reaching this point. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration to this matter. May GOD Bless you all, and the continued success of the nursing program.

Jasmin your are very deserving of your Nursing Degree. You have obtained many scholarships related to your academic performance. The HESI examination scores are not a predictor of student success. Therefore Morgan State University needs to take a closer look regarding the use of the HESI examination.
The President, Deans and Administrators needs to be accountable for students academic success.
What plans are being implemented for students success? Everyone please research the reliability and validity of HESI scores as a predictor of students success. Send your results to Morgan State University Director of Nursing Dr. Montague, President David Wilson, Vice President of Student Affairs Kevin Banks and Associate VP of Student Affairs Tanya Rush. Thank you.

I'm very disappointed that an HBCU like MSU is not able to prepare students to successfully complete the exam. A high failure rate suggests students were not adequately prepared by the university. High standards are admirable but you cannot hold students accountable for a standard that was not communicated in advance. If students were not told that 900 would be a passing score on the exit exam, they cannot be denied the opportunity to complete the program and graduate. What about students who did not pass for a second time? What pathways to graduation exist for them?
