NCLEX-RN Results - Nursing
According to the website of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) (https://www.ncsbn.org/181.htm), entry into the practice of nursing in the United States and its territories is regulated by the licensing authorities within each jurisdiction. To ensure public protection, each jurisdiction requires a candidate for licensure to pass an examination that measures the competencies needed to perform safely and effectively as a newly licensed, entry-level registered nurse.
NCSBN develops two licensure examinations, the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) and the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN) that are used by state and territorial boards of nursing to assist in making licensure decisions. Late-stage RMU Nursing students and Nursing graduates take the NCLEX-RN examination to qualify for licensing in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
RMU's Nursing program began in the fall of 2003. NCLEX-RN pass rates for all Pennsylvania RN programs from October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2016, including RMU, are available here.
