On Feb. 1, 2023, pursuant to § 464.019(5)(a)(2) Fla. Stat., the Florida Board of Nursing placed the Professional ALL CONTENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY ADDENDUM Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Fort Myers campus on probation because for two consecutive years (2021 and 2022) the program had graduate passage rates on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (“NCLEX-RN”) that were more than 10 percentage points lower than the national average passage rate during the same calendar years for graduates of comparable degree programs who are United States educated, first- time NCLEX-RN test takers. On Feb. 1, 2023, the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Fort Myers campus in Florida presented a remediation plan to the Florida Board of Nursing, which included both strategies that the University has implemented and strategies that the University plans to implement that aim to improve first-time test takers’ performance on the NCLEX-RN. The Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Fort Myers campus in Florida did not achieve the required NCLEX-RN passage rate during its first year on probation for calendar year 2023. On Feb. 7, 2024, the Florida Board of Nursing chose to extend the probationary status for one additional year because the program has demonstrated adequate progress toward the required NCLEX-RN passage rate by meeting a majority of the benchmarks established in the remediation plan. However, if the program fails to achieve the required NCLEX-RN passage rate at the end of this second year of probation, the Florida Board of Nursing shall terminate the program. If Enrollee is accepted into the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Fort Myers campus in Florida and graduates from the program while it is on probation, then Enrollee will be able to take the NCLEX-RN. If Enrollee is accepted into the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Fort Myers campus in Florida and the Florida Board of Nursing terminates the program before Enrollee graduates, then the program will be taught out, which will allow current students at the time of program termination the opportunity to graduate and take the NCLEX-RN. Because neither probationary status nor possible program termination affects students’ ability to graduate and take the NCLEX-RN, refunds based on probationary status or program termination will not be issued for tuition and fees incurred. • The Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Ocala campus in Florida is approved by the Florida Board of Nursing. The North Orlando campus is recognized as a satellite of the Ocala campus. On Feb. 7, 2024, pursuant to § 464.019(5)(a)(2) Fla. Stat., the Florida Board of Nursing placed the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Ocala campus, including the North Orlando satellite, on probation because for two consecutive years (2022 and 2023) the program had graduate passage rates on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (“NCLEX-RN”) that were more than 10 percentage points lower than the national average passage rate during the same calendar years for graduates of comparable degree programs who are United States educated, first- time NCLEX-RN test takers. On Feb. 7, 2024, the program presented a remediation plan to the Florida Board of Nursing, which included both strategies that the University has implemented and strategies that the University plans to implement that aim to improve first-time test takers’ performance on the NCLEX-RN. If the program meets the required NCLEX-RN passage rate in the future, the Florida Board of Nursing will remove the program’s probationary status. If the program, during the 2 calendar years following its placement on probationary status, does not achieve the required NCLEX-RN passage rate for any 1 calendar year, the Florida Board of Nursing may extend the program’s probationary status for 1 additional year, provided the program has demonstrated adequate progress toward the required NCLEX-RN passage rate by meeting a majority of the benchmarks established in the remediation plan. If the program is not granted the 1-year extension or fails to achieve the required NCLEX-RN passage rate by the end of such extension, the Florida Board of Nursing shall terminate the program. If Enrollee is accepted into the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Ocala campus, including the North Orlando satellite, and graduates from the program while it is on probation, then Enrollee will be able to take the NCLEX-RN. If Enrollee is accepted into the Professional Nursing Associate’s degree program at the Ocala campus, including the North Orlando satellite, and the Florida Board of Nursing terminates the program before Enrollee graduates, then the program will be taught out, which will allow current students at the time of program termination the opportunity to graduate and take the NCLEX-RN.
