Minnesota West Community & Technical College announces its RN program achieved the highest NCLEX pass rate among associate degree programs in Minnesota for 2024, while its Practical Nursing (PN) program ranked among the top NCLEX-PN pass rates.
The National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) is the gateway for nurses to receive licensure and begin practicing. A high NCLEX pass rate is widely regarded as a testament to the quality of a nursing program’s curriculum, teaching methodologies and the dedication of its faculty. Minnesota West’s top-ranking results highlight its skilled, knowledgeable and confident nursing professionals.
For students considering a career in nursing, Minnesota offers more than just top-notch education. The state boasts some of the highest nursing salaries in the country, coupled with access to world-class healthcare institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, the nation’s #1 ranked hospital. With excellent employment opportunities and a strong demand for healthcare professionals, Minnesota is an ideal place for nurses to begin their careers.
“Our success is a reflection of the hard work of our students, the dedication of our faculty, and the rigor of our program,” stated Dr. Dawn Gordon, Dean of Science & Nursing at Minnesota West. “We are committed to not only maintaining but exceeding this standard of excellence, empowering our graduates to deliver exceptional care to their patients and communities.”
