UE Nursing Program Achieves 100% First-Time NCLEX Pass Rate for Class of 2024

Evansville, Ind. (10/03/2024) — The University of Evansville (UE) is proud to announce that the Class of 2024 from the Dunigan Family School of Nursing, achieved a 100% first-time pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX), a key milestone for nursing graduates seeking to enter the healthcare workforce.

This outstanding achievement underscores the rigorous education and comprehensive training that students receive in UE's Nursing Program, which continues to prepare future nurses to provide high-quality patient care and excel in their careers. The NCLEX is a nationwide exam for the licensing of nurses in the United States and Canada, and passing on the first attempt is a testament to the dedication and excellence of both the students and faculty.

"We are incredibly proud of our graduates for their hard work and commitment to their studies, as well as our faculty for fostering an environment that supports student success," said Katie Thomas, Clinical Assistant Professor and Chair of Nursing. "This 100% pass rate reflects the strength of our program and our continued efforts to equip nursing students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in today's healthcare landscape."

Graduates of the University of Evansville Nursing Program are highly sought after by healthcare institutions across the country. This milestone reinforces UE's reputation as a leader in nursing education and its role in addressing the growing demand for qualified nursing professionals.

In addition to the BSN program, UE offers a fast track Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program where in as little as 16 months, students can earn their BSN to become a Registered Nurse (RN).
