CARSON CITY, Nev. (KRNV & MyNews4.com) -- Western Nevada College's 2012 associate degree nursing graduates have achieved a 100 percent pass rate for students taking the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Forty-one students completed the two-year nursing program this spring and earned an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Nursing. They were then eligible to sit for the national exam, which confirms a graduate’s competencies as a nurse and assists boards of nursing in making licensure decisions.
Many of the nursing graduates go on to work in Northern Nevada at Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center, Renown Regional Medical Center, Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center, and skilled nursing facilities throughout the region.
