Nclex pass rate

Published

The closest community college to me has a rate of about 75%..and the state average is 84%. Each semester they take in about 30 students so its a small class size.

the second closest has a pass rate of 87%..they are about 60 miles from my house...they also take in around 30 a semester.

In your opinion is 75 way to low to be a good school?

Of course 87% pass rate at the farther cc is ideal but if location/transportation/time/finances is a factor then 75% pass rate at the closer school would be fine with me. I would just hope to put it in myself to make sure I do my part to pass the NCLEX-RN and not rest it solely on the program I attend. In this economy, I would not be too picky.

Keep in mind that clinical sites for the nursing program you choose to attend will be relatively close to your school.

The school provides you with the means to sit for the exam. Getting ready for the exam is on you. I would go with the school that is closer to you.

thank you!

Id prefer to go to the closer school if I could instead of traveling an extra 40 some miles.

The PearsonVue web site has a breakout of NCLEX pass rates by program. Oddly enough, the highest NCLEX pass rates are from Diploma program nurses.

That said, my hunch is the individual, not the institution is the primary determinant in passing the NCLEX.
