<p>Hi everyone. I was recently accepted into the Decker School of Nursing here at Binghamton. I was so happy that I got accepted and I pretty much made up my mind to go there as Binghamton is a top public school in the US and the nursing program is pretty selective. My problem is that when I went to look up the NCLEX passing rates for DSON, I was shocked to find that the rates are pretty low! The passing rate for 2011-2012 at Binghamton was 79.1%! Is there something wrong with the program and is it worth going there. Rutgers Newark has a better passing rate of 86.32%! Someone PLEASE HELP because this is a very important decision to make and I am very confused. Anyone that attended the program or currently attends it, PLEASE REPLY. I REALLY need your help. Thanks everyone!</p>
<p>Unfortunately I don’t know anyone in Decker, but Google is telling me that the passing rate for NY averaged 82.7% So Binghamton, at 79.1%, is not awful. I wouldn’t say we are known far and wide for our nursing school but I do know people who are really trying to get into the program and if you love it here I think you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Thanks Rebeccar. I honestly really like Binghamton and so I am really hoping that the program is going to work out well. Do you attend Binghamton and do you have Any friends in the program?</p>
<p>Yes I do go here, but I’m in Harpur. I know of one person in Decker. She’s in the scholars program as well, and seems to be doing fine. I do have a friend who is in Harpur and is trying to transfer into Decker but it’s not guaranteed, which is turning out to be pretty nervewracking for her. I have another friend who is doing the BAT program and is doing fine.</p>
<p>I’ve met the Decker administrators and they are really awesome people. You should contact them and ask. They will help you out. </p>
<p>Congrats on the acceptance! It’s a great program.</p>
