BSNA Class of 2018 Pinning Ceremony

The W. Cary Edwards School of Nursing honored graduates of its Fall 2018 Accelerated 2nd Degree BSN Program with a pinning ceremony and reception on Sept. 27 at George A. Pruitt Hall. 

The culminating event signifies a symbolic entrance into the nursing profession for the graduates of the program who are now eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).

This year’s graduates represented students who came to the program with non-nursing undergraduate degrees and managed to complete the School’s demanding nursing degree requirements within one year. Students completed the program through a cycle of classroom-based courses and patient simulation lab exposure, online study and on ground clinical experiences at Capital Health campuses in Trenton and Hopewell, N.J.

Members of the School’s 2017 Accelerated BSN Program cohort achieved a 100 percent pass rate on the NCLEX-RN exam. That outcome marked the third time that graduates of the program achieved a 100 percent pass rate on the NCLEX-RN exam in a given year. Graduates of the program who took the exam in 2012 and 2014 also earned a 100 percent pass rate.

The 2018 cohort is the seventh graduating class of the program.
