Malone 2024 BSN Graduates Pass NCLEX Exam at 100% Pass Rate
It’s with great excitement that Malone University announces another NCLEX pass rate of 100% on the first attempt for the May 2024 class of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) graduates! According to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, the 2023 national average pass rate for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) was 88.5 percent. The 2024 results will be available in early 2025.
This is the fifth time in Malone’s history that every graduate passed the NCLEX on their first attempt – the first achievement occurred in 2005. The NCLEX was updated in 2023 to reflect the evolving landscape of nursing, and it evaluates how the next generation of nurses are prepared to incorporate the skills of clinical judgment and decision-making into their work.
“We are so very proud of these newly licensed registered nurses and the hard work they put in throughout the program,” said Carrie Stroup, DNP, associate professor and dean of Natural & Health Sciences division at Malone. “We cannot wait to see the impact they make in their professional journeys as they live out their callings.”
“This is an exciting time to be teaching and discipling nursing students at Malone,” said Greg Miller, PhD, president. “These students are eager to learn and motivated to serve both their patients and their employers in ways that give hope to a hurting world. I look forward to seeing how this next generation of Malone nurses makes a difference on behalf of Christ’s Kingdom.”
Providing patients with exceptional care and Christ-like compassion are hallmarks of Malone’s nursing curriculum. Malone’s BSN program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE), approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing, authorized by the Ohio Department of Higher Education, and holds memberships with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) and the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF).
