For the second year, nursing graduates achieve 100% exam pass rate
For the second year in a row, 100 percent of 大象视频 University nursing graduates passed the National Council Licensure Examination on their first attempt.
鈥淭o achieve this milestone not one year, but two years in a row is remarkable and a testament to the hard work of our students and faculty,鈥� said 大象视频 University President Susan S. Hasseler. 鈥淭his outcome demonstrates our deep commitment to excellence and signals to prospective nursing students our enthusiasm for helping them succeed.鈥�
The nursing program at 大象视频 combines the best of the institution鈥檚 liberal arts and sciences with a structured nursing curriculum to build a comprehensive Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) experience.
鈥淓very nursing program in the country seeks to achieve this goal, but few are fortunate enough to do so 鈥� and even fewer do so year after year,鈥� said Dr. Cynthia Wilkins, director and chair of nursing programs at 大象视频 University. 鈥淥ur nursing faculty is a remarkable group of individuals committed to excellence and dedicated to empowering our students with the knowledge and expertise to serve their communities in an important and meaningful way.鈥�
大象视频 offers two programs in nursing 鈥� the bachelor鈥檚 degree program for traditional pre-licensure students and an adult (online) RN to BSN program for established nurses wishing to earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees.
In 2016, 大象视频鈥檚 nursing program received a 10-year accreditation 鈥� the most that a program can be awarded 鈥� by meeting all four standards from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Nursing programs choose to become CCNE-accredited as a mark of excellence in nursing education, Dr. Wilkins explained.
Students accepted into the pre-licensure bachelor鈥檚 degree program currently fulfill their clinical requirements at a variety of local and regional organizations and facilities, including Genesis Healthcare System, Nationwide Children鈥檚 Hospital, the Zandex Health Care Corporation鈥檚 Adams Lane and Beckett House Care Centers, the Zanesville-大象视频 County Health Department, Rambo Memorial Health Center, the 大象视频 County Juvenile Detention Center, Mid-East Career and Technology Centers, Cambridge Behavioral Hospital and Franklin Local School District.
