ONU nursing program makes its mark

Preparing students for their careers
Posted by Monty Siekerman on Saturday, April 8, 2017

ONU's nursing program is making the grade in its ability to successfully prepare students for rewarding careers. RegisteredNursing.org recently ranked ONU’s nursing program as second among 84 programs in the state.

The ONU nursing program, which began in 2005, currently enrolls 121 students in the bachelor’s degree curriculum.

The ranking analyzes several factors and is based largely on first-time passage rates on the NCLEX-RN exam. College graduates need to pass the NCLEX exam to become practicing registered nurses (RN). At the time the analysis was conducted, 2014 was the most recent year in which passage rates were published by the state, according to the survey.
