The University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville (UACCB) has announced the 2023 class of registered nursing students achieved an overall pass rate of 84% on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). The Arkansas State Board of Nursing requires the examination to become a licensed registered nurse (RN) in the State of Arkansas.
“We are immensely proud of our students’ remarkable achievement in passing the NCLEX examination,” said Becky Warren, dean of health professions. “This accomplishment not only reflects their individual success but also speaks to the exceptional quality of education and preparation provided by the faculty and staff within the program.”
UACCB’s nursing program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and has been granted full accreditation through the Fall of 2028. ACEN accreditation underscores the commitment UACCB has made to maintaining the highest standards of nursing education and reflects the quality and integrity of the curriculum, the college said in a release.
The continued accreditation by ACEN provides additional assurance to prospective students, their families, and employers that the program meets rigorous national standards for educational quality and effectiveness.
