Overall rating

ScrubScope has not put a single number on Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania - Bloomsburg (Department of Nursing). As a public university its cost and student experience shift with residency and campus, so we verify program quality, faculty, online support, real cost, and student outcomes against a primary source before any score goes up. For now its first-time NCLEX index of 50.8 is one input we weigh, not a verdict. We will not post a fabricated or flattering rating to fill the gap.
