Practical Nursing Graduates Get Excellent Score

ECC’s 2024 Class of Practical Nursing graduates are l-r (front row) Andrea Diggs, Tavonda Gibbs, Tiffany Speight, Ariel Eaton and Brianna Dawson; (second row) Serena Petway, Aaniyah Smith and Laurin Wetter; (third row) Je’Myrha Robinson and Trudy Roberson; (fourth row) Christopher Dawson and Casey Holmes.

Edgecombe Community College’s Practical Nursing graduates have achieved perfection for the 13th consecutive year. The 12 graduates, who participated in their pinning ceremony August 1, have received a 100 percent pass rate on the national licensure exam.

“Achieving a 100 percent NCLEX-PN pass rate is a testament to the hard work, perseverance and excellence of our students, as well as the unwavering support and expertise of our faculty,” says Ami Denton, program chair and director of nursing programs at ECC.

Nursing graduates must pass the NCLEX-PN, or National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses, in order to become a licensed practical nurse.

“This milestone highlights our institution’s commitment to provide top-tier education and to prepare our graduates to excel as leaders in the nursing profession,” says Denton. “We couldn’t be prouder of this extraordinary accomplishment.”
