While the order declined to change the date, it agreed to Gariépy’s suggestion of allowing students who had failed for a third — and normally final — time to retake the test. Gariépy’s interim report found that just 45.4 per cent of nursing students passed the Sept. 26 licensing exam, compared to a pass rate of between 63 and 96 per cent in previous sittings.
Gariépy said nursing students have largely blamed what they see as flaws in the exam, while the order of nurses has suggested student preparation could have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
