The Department of Nursing at William Jewell College is pleased to announce that all of the 2007 Bachelor of Science of Nursing, Accelerated-Track (BSN-AT) graduates have passed the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX) on the first attempt. The 22 BSN-AT graduates from the 2007 class are currently working in Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and California, with one graduate serving in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan.
William Jewell’s first BSN-AT students graduated in 2004. “We are very pleased for our graduates, and grateful for their hard work in preparing for the NCLEX exam,” says Dr. Nelda Godfrey, Chair of the Department of Nursing.
Godfrey also noted that the 2007 NCLEX pass rate for the combined BSN and BSN-AT tracks in the William Jewell program is 94%. “This is especially impressive because the national NCLEX pass rate for first-time testers during the same time period was 80.4%,” Godfrey said.
With its rigorous academic culture and focus on student achievement, William Jewell College promises students an outstanding liberal arts education that cultivates leadership, service, and spiritual growth within a community inspired by Christian ideals and committed to open, rigorous intellectual pursuits.
