The Direct Entry Master of Nursing program achieved a pass rate of 93.86 percent, marking its second year in a row over 93 percent.
“Our strong NCLEX pass rates reflect this college’s proficiency at producing nurses who are well-prepared for practice,” says Dr. Jill Guttormson, Dean of the College of Nursing. “We are pleased to have graduated more than 300 nurses, who are now treating patients across Wisconsin and the United States.”
