Nursing Department Celebrates 100% NCLEX-RN Pass Rate!

This fall, Trinity’s nursing department celebrated another phenomenal NCLEX-RN pass rate for its nursing graduates of 100 percent.*

This exceeded last year’s notable pass rate of 95 percent, which was significantly higher than the 2014 national average of 82 percent.**

In addition to the extraordinary work of her students, Nursing Department Chair Tina Decker ’06 credits the high pass rate with the nursing program’s dedicated and experienced faculty and the hands-on learning students receive through the department’s simulation lab and the College’s proximity to major Chicago and suburban hospitals.

The exams are taken following graduation from a bachelor’s degree-granting nursing program and administered through the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), the vehicle through which boards of nursing act and counsel together to provide regulatory excellence for public health, safety, and welfare.

Trinity’s nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
