BCCC Nursing Grads Achieve 100% NCLEX-RN Pass Rate

 The most recent graduates of Bucks County Community College’s Associate Degree in Nursing program achieved an impressive 100% pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN), college officials announced. “This is an extraordinary first-time accomplishment with the new concept-based curriculum,” noted Dean of Health Sciences Constance Corrigan, Ed.D., at the public, two-year college. “We're so proud of these 60 grads as well as our faculty and staff who prepared these students well to enter the nursing field.” The graduates tested between October 1, 2023, and September 30, 2024. The NCLEX-RN exam assesses a candidate's nursing competence to determine if they can practice as an entry-level nurse. To become a Registered Nurse (RN) in Pennsylvania, students must successfully complete an approved nursing program and pass the NCLEX before they can apply for their nursing license and begin practicing as an RN. The Associate Degree Nursing Program is approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing and accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing. “We are thrilled about our nursing graduates achieving their life-changing professional goal,” said the College’s President & CEO Patrick M. Jones, Ph.D. Dr. Jones continued, “Bucks also offers successful programs in other high-demand healthcare fields such as Practical Nursing, Radiography, and Medical Lab Technician. All of these programs help us meet employer needs and prepare students for great career opportunities.” Virtual information sessions provide an opportunity to learn more about the Associate Degree Nursing Program and the application process. Information sessions are scheduled for: Wednesday, February 19, 2025, 12-1 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, 2025, 12-1 p.m. Wednesday, April 23, 12:30-1:30 p.m. Visit the Associate Degree Nursing Program for more information. Practical Nursing Program at Bucks The Practical Nursing program—a full-time, face-to-face 12-month program that prepares students to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)—had a NCLEX pass rate of 93% in 2024, which was 3.3% above the national average. That program had pass rates of 100% in each of the previous two years and has scored above the national average for nearly ten years. The Practical Nursing program at Bucks is ranked #2 for excellence out of 52 LPN programs in Pennsylvania. Applications are now being accepted for the July 2025 program start date. The next virtual information sessions for the Practical Nursing program are scheduled for: Wednesday, January 8, 10 a.m. Monday, January 13 at 1:30 p.m. Visit the Practical Nursing program for details.
Dual admission info session

Bucks County Community College to Host a 2+2 Dual Admission Information Session

 Bucks County Community College will host a 2+2 Dual Admission Information Session on Wednesday, December 18, 6-7:30 p.m., on the Newtown Campus. Prospective students and their families will receive valuable information about how they can minimize student debt and save thousands of dollars by completing an associate degree at Bucks before earning a bachelor’s degree at a top-ranked university. By attending Bucks for their first two years and transferring to one of 26 dual admission university partners, students can save 26%-72% on tuition and fees over their four-year college experience thanks to Bucks’ affordable tuition and fees and factoring in the scholarships availed to dual admission transfer students from the four-year university partners. In fact, the savings may be even greater when factoring in the more than $600,000 in scholarships available to Bucks students every year when enrolled at the community college. Bucks County Community College offers more than 40 transfer degrees. When students participate in the dual admission transfer pathway, they receive guaranteed admission, junior status and have the application fee waived at the four-year university. Representatives from the Admissions Office will also present information about the admissions process and how to get started at Bucks as a student. The information session will take place in the Gallagher Room (room 139) inside the Rollins Center on the Newtown Campus (275 Swamp Road, Newtown, PA). Guests may park in the visitor parking lot (V1 on the Campus Map). Please enter through the Gateway Center.
