The educational objective of the Associate in Science Degree Nursing program is to prepare the student who, upon graduation and successful completion of the state licensure exam (NCLEX-RN), will be able to function as a Registered Nurse (RN) within the scope of nursing as defined by the State of California Nursing Practice Act.
The Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) publishes the NCLEX-RN first-time pass rates. First-time pass rate reflects the percentage of graduates that pass the NCLEX-RN exam the first time.
(NOTE: The NCLEX-RN licensing examination requires an applicant have a high school diploma or its equivalent.)
