Mohawk Valley Community College Spring 2023 Nursing graduates achieved a 100% first-time pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination – Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN).

The NCLEX is a standardized exam used to determine if a candidate is prepared for entry-level nursing practice after completing an accredited nursing degree. The MVCC Nursing program continues to make intentional and directed efforts to ensure that graduates are equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to practice nursing with aptitude and professionalism.

“The 100% pass rate for 2023 is a true reflection of not only the College’s and program’s efforts, but the resources available to help students be successful in a rigorous program,” said Melissa Copperwheat, Dean of the School of Health Sciences at MVCC. “We are beyond proud of our success and the success of our students.”

MVCC's Nursing program educates students interested in performing the duties associated with being a Registered Nurse to practice in collaborative or leadership roles in hospitals as well as clinics, mental health facilities, and long-term care. Graduates receive an Associate in Applied Science degree, are prepared as beginning practitioners in nursing, and are eligible for the RN New York State licensing examination. Upon completion of the program and the RN licensure, graduates can get a job in nursing anywhere in the United States and are often sought-after by area and regional employers.
