LPN to RN grads achieve 100% passage of NCLEX

2016 graduates of  Tri-Rivers LPN to RN program achieved 100% passage of the NCLEX (National Council Examination)

The goal of the Tri-Rivers LPN to RN program at Tri-Rivers Center for Adult Education is two-fold.
“First of all, we want our graduates to successfully obtain licensure as a Registered Nurse. Secondly, our students also receive education that focuses on the professional environment and current practice issues including evidence-based practice and patient experience, in order to make them successful employees for today’s health care agencies,” said Dr. Emeline Kelly, Health & Public Safety Programs Director for Tri-Rivers.
“We also place importance of continuing education by instructing our students that it is an expectation that they will obtain further education, minimally, a baccalaureate degree,” said Dr. Kelly. “Additionally, we hold our faculty and staff to a high standard, relying on current practice and innovative educational strategies.”
Dr. Kelly attributes the high passage rate to working one on one with students and offering unparalleled support for students during their training. In 2014 the program was the only RN program in Ohio to achieve a 100% pass rate on the NCLEX, in 2015 they had 95.6%. This year 100%.

Kelly explained that they look at each individual student and work hard to support their goals of becoming a healthcare professional. “Each student is different. We recognize those differences and provide the support that helps them succeed.”
