Their tests are all done on computers.

---

why? why introduce a failure point in an already stressed system? do the tests on paper and scantron/blue book. Problem solved.

---

They've been computerized since before I graduated from nursing school over 20 years ago. So is the state exam.

---

so was the GRE in 2001. Doesn't mean it HAS to be that way, especially if the infrastructure does not support it.

---

It does though. For the class size that was expected with normal growth. This rapid increase was idiotic.

Yes, I know there's a nursing shortage. There's been one for at least 40 years. Decreasing the quality of education that nurses receive is not the way to fix it.

The university increasing class size without adequately addressing infrastructure first?

How are they staying accredited if the curriculum is "watered down"? Have students considered complaining to BON and ACEN?

ACEN accredits Blinn

TAMU is accredited by CCNE

CCNE accredits the nursing school, then doesn't return a visit until their accreditation expires (usually 5-10 years, depending on how well they did at their last visit). unless there is a complaint or problem. Sounds like no one has alerted them of the issues!
