Emory nursing students near perfect on national licensure exam

August 29, 2018

Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing graduates continue to excel on the national licensure exam. The 2018 year-to-date NCLEX pass rate for Emory Nursing students is 99.34 percent.

After completing nursing school, every registered nurse (RN) in the United States must first pass the NCLEX to obtain a license. A final step in the journey toward practicing as a nurse, the exam tests the essential knowledge and skills that will be necessary for newly-licensed nurses to provide safe and effective care.
