100% of Grambling State 2022 Nursing Graduates Pass NCLEX on First Attempt
|
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on August 25, 2022 The Grambling State University (GSU) College of Professional Studies is celebrating after all 16 of its 2022 School of Nursing graduates passed the NCLEX exam as first-time test takers. A National Council of State Board of Nursing exam used to test the competency of nursing school graduates in the U.S. and Canada, a passing grade is required to become a registered nurse. The 100% pass rate for first-time test takers is a first in the history of the School of Nursing at GSU. “The Louisiana Board of Nursing requires an 80% NCLEX-RN passage rate for first-time testers for full state approval,” said Dr. Meg Brown, associate dean of the GSU’s School of Nursing. “The current BSN program enrolled its first cohort in 2018. This is the second cohort to graduate. The first cohort was less than 80%.” Brown said the higher passing rate was due to the work nursing faculty put in with students to make it happen. “Strategies were put into place to improve the NCLEX-RN passage rate,” Brown said. “It appears that they worked with students passing at 100% for first-time testers. The full state approval allows the nursing students to be eligible for scholarships earmarked for nursing schools with full state approval.” Brown continued that the impact of full state approval and the 100% passing rate will increase inquiries and applicants to the BSN program. Accredited by the (CCNE), the twelve-month curriculum format offers programs in pre-nursing, BSN, RN to BSN, and MSN. To learn more about the program, visit gram.edu/nursing.
