SUNY Delhi Nursing Students Surpass State and National Licensure Pass Rate Averages

Both associate and bachelor's degree students at Delhi surpass the state and national licensure pass rate averages

Delhi, NY (12/17/2024) — According to the latest quarterly report by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, SUNY Delhi's nursing programs have an impressive NCLEX pass rate of 100% for the associate degree and 91.84% for the bachelor's degree in 2024. Both results outperform New York State 2023 averages of 83.6% and 85.0% and the national averages of 87.7% and 90.2%. The state and national averages for 2024 have not yet been updated.

NCLEX, the National Council Licensure Examination, is a nationwide examination for the licensing of nurses in the United States. After completing a nursing program, a student must pass the NCLEX to work as a licensed nurse. The passing standard for the NCLEX determines the minimum competency needed for safe and effective nursing practice.

"SUNY Delhi's outstanding NCLEX pass rate reflects our 80-year tradition of excellence in preparing students for successful careers in nursing," said Cecilia DeCotes, assistant dean of the School of Nursing at SUNY Delhi. "We are proud of our students for their hard work and commitment and for exceeding both state and national averages in their preparedness to enter their careers. A nursing education from SUNY Delhi is synonymous with hardworking, highly respected nursing professionals who save lives and make a difference every day."

One of New York State's premier nursing programs, SUNY Delhi uses a holistic approach to prepare exceptional nurses for the modern healthcare setting. A newly built, state-of-the-art nursing simulation lab enhances the program's extensive hands-on learning experiences for students. SUNY Delhi offers associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees in nursing. The college is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) and the New York State Board of Regents.
