Arizona nursing board moves to terminate Aspen University BSN program early, citing violations
ASPEN GROUP, INC.
- Arizona State Board of Nursing voted to notify Aspen University BSN program of intent to terminate teach-out process and close program early.
- Program was under probation since March 2022 due to low NCLEX pass rates and violations; later voluntarily surrendered approval with two-year teach-out.
- Board cites new violations: failing minimum instruction, exam integrity issues, improper clinical hours counting.
- Board will hold second meeting to possibly deem approval surrendered immediately, effectively closing the BSN program.
