The results are in for the Accelerated LPN to RN graduates of Texas County Technical College in Houston. Twenty-two graduated from TCTC on May 6 and have been taking the NCLEX-RN exam since then. It tests graduates over everything they have learned during their time in nursing school.
TCTC graduates have been preparing for the NCLEX-RN for weeks because all nursing graduates must pass the exam to be licensed in their desired field.
TCTC faculty worked hard to prepare their students for the difficult exam, and it showed in the results: Of the 22 LPN to RN graduates, so far they have an 86.4 percent NCLEX-RN pass rate. Although the NCLEX is dreaded by many, 90.9 percent of TCTC’s 2017 LPN to RN graduates have a nursing job waiting for them upon earning licensure, which makes the studying worth it.
“We are very proud of our graduates. They have endless opportunities in the medical field ahead of them, and we are excited to see where they will go in the future,” said TCTC President Charlotte Gray.
TCTC’s next LPN program begins Aug 28. Applications for this program are being accepted and close Friday, Aug. 11. As of this publication there is no current waitlist and no prerequisites. Students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, because space is limited.
