Initiative Title	Student Success Program
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2019
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	To improve student retention and NCLEX pass rates to meet our benchmarks.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	In Newburgh we admitted 48 students in the spring of 2019; in Middletown, 96 students were admitted in the fall of 2018 (including day and evening students). This past academic year we had an attrition rate of 35% in the Day Middletown program and 29% in the Evening Middletown program, while it was only 17% in Newburgh. Thus we have identified that an area needing development is retention rates. In addition, our Middletown Day program graduates from May 2019 have shown a decreased first-time pass rate on the NCLEX exam, to 84.7%, which is below the NY State average of 85.5%. Students need support for both academics and skill development. We have been maintaining limited tutoring and advising hours utilizing peer tutors, and have been able to offer faculty test reviews prior to exams for each course. We also have access to Net Tutor for Nursing courses, however there has been minimal usage of this service by our students. With three open full-time faculty lines left unfilled in the spring, and with the upcoming retirement and resignations of an additional 3 full-time faculty, and being denied the ability to search to replace them, we will continue to be forced to depend on new adjuncts, who need extensive mentoring and support. This puts a strain on the existing faculty members who must supervise and monitor the adjuncts, impacting their ability to provide support to students and possibly leading to burnout and further attrition. Further decreases in first-time NCLEX pass rates would threaten our accreditation status, which could further undermine our program.
