The LPN study gathers first-time NCLEX-PN pass rates for 575 practical nursing programs as the state boards printed them, with each board and period named; Florida, Ohio and North Carolina are left out while the reuse terms of their source are checked.
The nursing-home study lists 916 nurse aide programs that state lists mark as run by a facility for its own hires, or that match a nursing home in CMS records, so a reader can see where aide training comes with a job.
The CDL study measures, for every county, the distance to the nearest public, in-person location on FMCSA's registry that teaches Class A driving on public roads; 169 counties are more than 50 miles away.
The WIOA study sets the 27,604 career programs on state eligible training provider lists side by side by type: what they list as tuition, how many weeks they run, and how many students finished and found work.
