IUON 2007 Summer Grads Achieve a 92% Pass Rate on NCLEX!
Two cohorts of
IUON students who transferred last year to Seminole State College, Oklahoma City and West Kentucky Community and Technical College, Paducah, have graduated this past summer. The majority of these students have already sat for their NCLEX exam and have achieved a 92% pass rate. This is an excellent outcome for our students. Their pass rate exceeds last year's national average of 88%. IUON alumni are already working in California, Oklahoma and Tennessee. We are very proud of these results and are confident that the trend will continue. Congratulations to our students and kudos to IUON and our partner schools' faculty and staff.
Comments from a recent grad who completed her ADN Degree, successfully passed the NCLEX and is now practicing as a registered nurse: "It is truly a dream come true. I am living my dream of being an RN…and it is just awesome. I will start working on my BSN pretty soon. "
