All 17 of South Piedmont Community College’s most recent nursing class have passed the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN), the required exam to become Registered Nurse.
The results extend South Piedmont’s long tradition of 100-percent pass rates on the exam.
In addition to passing the NCLEX-RN, all 17 of the 2024 nursing graduates have also been hired in their field. They are working at organizations including Atrium and Novant.
“We are just beyond excited and proud of our students’ success,” said Dr. Sharon Snow, executive director of Nursing Education.
“These students demonstrated remarkable commitment, dedication to their intended career path, and perseverance through the very challenging Nursing program. They are shining examples of South Piedmont student success and a credit to the nursing profession. We wish each and every one of them the very best in their new careers.
Snow added that the success of the students is a direct result of the College’s commitment to high-quality nursing education.
“At South Piedmont, we stand behind the quality of the nursing education we deliver every day. We are committed to instilling in our students not just the technical knowledge they need to make a difference for their patients, but also a big-picture understanding of the healthcare system, communication skills, the ability to collaborate with other members of the healthcare team, an understanding of the holistic needs of the patient — and their role in ensuring positive patient outcomes,” she said.
