<p>Many but not all states publish the results of the RN certification nursing exam online for graduates of each college for each year. You can often find them with a google search including the name of each state. </p>
<p>Here's results for New York State. Associates are listed first, then bachelors.</p>

<p>I’m curious about something - if Penn only has 100 -130 students per entering BSN class (before the attrition that ususally happens) then how can there be 173 first time test takers?</p>
<p>shanghai- funny you should say that because I was noticing that for Pitt, because Pitt has 120 freshman BSN spaces and many more first time test takers. I am thinking that some of the graduates are those in the BS to RN program. Those who have BS and just need nursing courses are also taking the test. It was my best guess.</p>
<p>Here is 2012 and 2010 from Maryland (for some reason, 2011 wouldn’t open). Towson has really brought it’s pass rate up. </p>

<p>I am starting to search schools for my D who is a rising junior. Would you say searching for schools using the NCLEX results is a good indicator of how the school’s nursing perform is? We are looking in PA since she doesn’t want to go to far. She is looking at BSN programs and most likely direct entry. Any advice is appreciated!</p>
<p>Check out the very recent post on this site about NCLEX results. Watch out for schools that report an extremely high pass rate - they may make it hard for some of their students to take the test if they don’t think they will pass it on the first try.</p>
<p>HUh So what has come up that is more important than taking your certification exam upon completing your course? Can’t this take priority over the over scheduling conflict?</p>
<p>There really is no scheduling conflict. You cannot take the NCLEX exam until after you graduate and have your Nursing degree. Some 4 year BSN Programs require senior Nursing students to take what is called the HESI exam. It is a pre-NCLEX exam and based on a student’s score it gives the odds that the student will pass the NCLEX exam. Some Programs require students to score at a certain level on the HESI exam before they will be given their BSN degree. The number of attempts allowed varies by the school. If you do not score high enough based upon the Program’s requirements you are not given your BSN degree (they award some other type of degree but it is not a BSN) so you cannot take the NCLEX exam and therefore cannot become licensed as an RN. Its basically 4 years of college down the drain. I would recommend that when students apply to 4 year BSN Nursing Programs that they inquire if the Program has such a requirement.</p>
<p>At my daughter’s program, if you don’t do well on the pre-test, they require you to take a commercial test prep class. That it is much more reasonable than refusing to give you your degree.</p>
<p>Actually if you go to a Barns & Noble bookstore many of them will have Prep books for the HESI exam. Commercial Prep course Programs are also available to help prepare students to take the HESI exam. As the HESI exam is a pre-NCLEX exam these books/programs can also be used to study for the NCLEX exam itself.</p>
