The BVNPT cited several issues with Azure College's Practical Nursing program, including:
* Inadequate clinical resources: Azure College does not have enough clinical sites for students to complete their required clinical hours. This means that students may not be able to get the hands-on experience they need to become competent nurses.
* Poor academic performance: Azure College has failed to meet the BVNPT's pass rates for the NCLEX-PN exam. This means that Azure College's graduates may not be adequately prepared for nursing practice.
* Lack of qualified faculty: Azure College does not have enough qualified faculty to teach its Practical Nursing program. This means that students may not be getting the quality of education that they deserve.
The BVNPT has given Azure College until September 30, 2022 to address these issues. If Azure College fails to meet the BVNPT's demands, the program could lose its accreditation.
Students considering enrolling in Azure College's Practical Nursing program should be aware of the program's probationary accreditation status. Students may wish to consider other nursing programs that are accredited by the BVNPT.
