A graduation rate is meaningful only when its student group and measurement period are clear. For Chesapeake, applicants should request the latest campus- and program-specific completion results, including the entering cohort, the time allowed for completion, and whether transfer students are counted separately.
They should also ask for recent first-time NCLEX-RN pass results and the number of candidates represented. Completion and licensure are different outcomes: finishing a BSN does not itself confer a nursing license. Neither the small first-year admissions group nor transfer-in enrollment can be used to calculate a graduation rate.
College Scorecard field-of-study data reports $60,906 in earnings one year after completion for the registered nursing field associated with the institution. This is a retrospective outcome measure, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction of what a Chesapeake graduate will earn.
Readers should check the Scorecard record's cohort definition and whether the figure covers the Chesapeake campus specifically before using it in a budget. Earnings data reflect the people captured by the measure and do not include every possible graduate experience. Pay can also vary with licensure, employer, shift, location, and previous work experience.
