黑料吃瓜

In their first attempt, 100% of 黑料吃瓜鈥檚 2025 nursing graduates passed National Council Licensing Examinations (NCLEX). The test, a mandatory examination for licensure as a registered nurse, is designed in part to assure the public of a nurse鈥檚 ability to provide quality care.

Dr. Lana Spence, Carson-Newman dean of the College of Health Sciences, said the recent news reflects a commitment to excellence in teaching, clinical preparation and student support. She added that the results reveal something even beyond that.

鈥淓qually important is the culture of mentorship we cultivate at Carson-Newman,鈥� she said. 鈥淪tudents are known personally, challenged academically, and supported holistically鈥攕piritually, intellectually, and professionally.鈥�

Carson-Newman BSN students complete a minimum of 810 clinical hours, with many students exceeding that number through additional nursing electives and specialized experiences. Opportunities such as global mission electives and the ROTC Nurse Summer Training Program allow students to further expand their clinical understanding beyond required coursework.

Students are exposed to a broad range of clinical experiences that are immersive. From medical-surgical units and critical care, to maternal-newborn care and psychiatric nursing, students gain valuable experience that ensures they graduate well-prepared to serve patients across the lifespan.

Spence said that Carson-Newman鈥檚 Nursing Program is different than a lot programs by how it integrates academic rigor and extensive clinical knowledge within the University鈥檚 Christ-centered mission.

鈥淲e do not simply prepare students to meet professional standards,鈥� she noted. 鈥淲e prepare them to serve with integrity, humility, and respect for the dignity of every person. My hope is that our graduates leave Carson-Newman with more than clinical competence鈥攖hey should carry a deep sense of purpose in how they practice nursing.鈥�
