Nursing Students Exceed National and State NCLEX Results

Please join me in congratulating the students, faculty, and staff of the Nursing Department for their impressive NCLEX professional exam results during the first two quarters of 2022.  Of the 65 MCC RN Nursing Program graduates who have taken the NCLEX so far this year, 90.77% passed and are fully qualified Registered Nurses.  Statewide, 76.76% of those attempting the NCLEX passed, including graduates of both public and private associate’s degree and bachelor’s degree programs.  Nationally, 82.32% passed. 

The pandemic and "great resignation" have increased demand for qualified nurses.  Local hospitals would be happy to hire even more MCC RN graduates.  In addition to the talented nurisng faculty and staff, I would like to recognize the many people at MCC who support students who are in the pathway towards Nursing:  Admissions counselors, Advisors, Schools Specialists, faculty who teach "points", prereq, and gen ed courses.  It takes a team.
