UAM Nursing Graduates Post Second
Highest Pass Rate On State Licensure Exam (8/11/09)
MONTICELLO, AR — Graduates of the bachelor of science in nursing degree
program at the University of Arkansas at Monticello achieved the second
highest passing rate on the 2009 state licensure examination, according to
Pam Gouner, chair of the UAM Division of Nursing.
UAM’s BSN graduates posted a 96 percent passing rate on the NCLEX (National
Council Licensure Exam) for Registered Nurses.
“I am really proud of our students and our program,” said Gouner. “What
we’re seeing is real consistency in our program. It’s nice to be in the top
three in the state.”
“I want to congratulate both the students and faculty for a job well done,”
said UAM Chancellor Jack Lassiter. “Our nursing program has always been a
source of pride for the institution and I am pleased to see a tradition of
academic excellence continue.”
Graduates of UAM’s two-year associate of applied science in nursing program
achieved a 100 percent pass rate on the NCLEX for the second year in a row,
according to Gouner. “Our two-year graduates are establishing a high
standard for future graduates,” Gouner said. “This is another positive
reflection on our faculty and program as a whole.” |
