“We take pride in the commitment and success of our nursing students and faculty in having achieved 100 percent passage,” said Dr. Connie Stopper, professor and chair of the Department of Nursing at Mount Union. “Our new accelerated BSN program will offer opportunity for persons with a previous non-nursing baccalaureate degree to complete program requirements in a shortened time period; and, to build continued success for the future.”
NCLEX is an exam organized by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing which is, “dedicated to developing psychometrically sound and legally defensible nurse licensure and certification examinations consistent with current practice.”
