100% of this year’s Northern Kentucky University Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates have passed their licensing exams, a representative from the university informed LINK nky on Wednesday.
In order to become licensed nurses, graduates must pass the National Council Licensure Examination, or NCLEX. The university has sported an average pass rate of 99.6% over the past three years, according to NKU’s statement.
“Earning a nursing degree is about more than passing an exam; it’s about preparing students to step into one of the most critical roles in our communities,” said Dr. Gannon Tagher, dean of NKU’s College of Health and Human Services. “These results reflect the strength of our program and the commitment of our faculty to ensuring students are ready to deliver high-quality care from day one.”
