The Crowder College-Cassville Nursing student graduates for fall 2019 recently received word that all students earned a passing score on their NCLEX licensure test. This marks the third year in a row the program has achieved a 100% pass rate.

The NCLEX is the mechanism that measures the abilities of students graduating from an associate of science in nursing program to become a registered nurse. According to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, the pass rate for NCLEX-RN from the U.S. was 88% in 2018 for first-time testers.

“Crowder Cassville has always had outstandin­g nurse graduates since the program began in January 2010. Achieving 100% first-time pass rates in the last three years is evidence of the hard work and determinat­ion of students. This is also a reflection of the hard work the instructor­s pour into ensuring the students are successful,” Kimberly Smith, Cassville nursing program coordinato­r/instructor, said.

Crowder College prides itself on NCLEX performanc­e with nursing programs at Neosho, Cassville, McDonald County and Nevada.

Karen Hatfield of Pineville is among the Cassville nursing student graduates who were part of this accomplish­ment.
