ELLISVILLE –All 21 of the 2019 May graduating class from Jones College’s Associate Degree Nursing program have achieved a 100% pass rate on their first attempt on the NCLEX-RN exam according to division chair for A.D.N., Erin Knight, MSN, RN. She explained all students who graduate from nursing school, whether from a college or a university, take the NCLEX-RN licensure examination in order to practice in the healthcare setting. This was the class’ first attempt on the NCLEX-RN which is quite an accomplishment because the test is comprehensive and rigorous.
“We are proud of our students for accomplishing this great milestone! It is a testament of our students, who work hard, and to our faculty, who make sure our students receive the training necessary to help them be successful in nursing school, on the NCLEX-RN exam, and to be able to move out into the surrounding communities and areas to practice as safe, competent and caring nurses. Having those qualified nurses in our surrounding communities, state, as well as those states around us, will make a direct impact on the health of patients,” said Knight.
The Jones College Associate Degree Nursing program has proven to be a high-quality program with graduates from the fall 2018 class achieving a first-time pass rate of 93.2 percent. For more information about the Jones College Associate Degree Nursing program call the department at 601-477-4019.
