Nursing Program
An education in nursing provides students with extensive opportunities for employment. The Nursing Program at Jefferson is designed to provide you with the necessary skills required for entry into the nursing profession. Graduates not only are prepared to join the workforce immediately upon graduation, but many continue their education to earn advanced degrees.
Graduates of this program are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). We are proud to report that Jefferson’s graduates continue to excel on this licensing examination. The successful pass rate for the 2009 class was 100%. Refer to the table below to compare Jefferson graduates with other graduate nurses in New York and nationally.
