For the second year, nursing graduates achieve 100% exam pass rate

 

For the second year in a row, 100 percent of Խ University nursing graduates passed the National Council Licensure Examination on their first attempt.

“To 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,” said Խ University President Susan S. Hasseler. “This outcome demonstrates our deep commitment to excellence and signals to prospective nursing students our enthusiasm for helping them succeed.”

The nursing program at Խ combines the best of the institution’s liberal arts and sciences with a structured nursing curriculum to build a comprehensive Bachelor of Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) experience.

“Every nursing program in the country seeks to achieve this goal, but few are fortunate enough to do so — and even fewer do so year after year,” said Dr. Cynthia Wilkins, director and chair of nursing programs at Խ University. “Our 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.”

Խ offers two programs in nursing — the bachelor’s 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, Խ’s nursing program received a 10-year accreditation — the most that a program can be awarded — 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’s degree program currently fulfill their clinical requirements at a variety of local and regional organizations and facilities, including Genesis Healthcare System, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, the Zandex Health Care Corporation’s Adams Lane and Beckett House Care Centers, the Zanesville-Խ County Health Department, Rambo Memorial Health Center, the Խ County Juvenile Detention Center, Mid-East Career and Technology Centers, Cambridge Behavioral Hospital and Franklin Local School District.
