NSCC Nursing students have once again earned top annual licensure pass rates, surpassing Commonwealth and national averages.
The Nurse Education (RN) graduating class of 2019 achieved a 98% pass rate for first-time test takers on the National Licensure Exam while the Practical Nursing (LPN) students scored a 96% pass rate on the Practical Nursing National Licensure Exam. These numbers exceed the 2019 national average of 88% and 86% for RNs and LPNs, respectively, and the Commonwealth’s average 2019 pass rate of 91% for RNs and 93% for LPNs.
“The faculty from both programs are proud of the accomplishments of their students and credit student success to the combination of didactic, clinical and simulation experiences that support students in their learning,“ said NSCC Director of Nursing Susan Maciewicz, RN MSN CNE. “The students’ success is also credited to the hard work and dedication of the faculty.”
