BCC nursing class does well on exams

FALL RIVER — Bristol Community College’s nursing class of 2018 has achieved a 97 percent pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination exam.

The NCLEX is an examination for the licensing of nurses in the United States and Canada. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc.  develops and administers the exam on behalf of its board members across each state in the United States.

Each state board of nursing requires a candidate for licensure to pass the appropriate NCLEX examination that corresponds with their education level. NCLEX examinations are designed to test the knowledge, skills and abilities essential for the safe and effective practice of nursing at the entry-level.
