For the second year in a row, Walsh University has the highest pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) of any traditional BSN program in the state of Ohio at 96.15%. Compared to other Ohio nursing schools with average rates ranging from 80% to 90%, Walsh’s pass rate was significantly higher than other schools in the state. NCLEX is an examination for the licensing of nurses developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) in the United States.

“This is a tribute to the quality of education provided not only by the faculty in the Division of Nursing but to all faculty at Walsh University,” said division of nursing chair Dr. Linda Linc.

The Walsh University Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree is designed to prepare students to assume the professional role of the registered nurse. The degree is built upon a strong scientific and liberal arts core curriculum. The mission of the Walsh University Division of Nursing is to provide excellence in nursing education grounded in human experience. The Walsh University nursing division prepares the graduate to practice nursing within the framework of Judeo-Christian values which promote health within diverse communities.

The Bachelor of Science - four year pre-licensure option is designed to prepare the graduate to become licensed as a registered nurse. The curriculum prepares students to function in the role of caregiver, coordinator, manager and leader in a variety of settings with diverse client populations. Graduates from the program will be eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing RN-BSN option is designed to meet the career development needs of registered nurses who are graduates of associate degree or diploma programs. The program of study builds upon the educational foundation and work/life experiences of the nurse. The program design offers flexibility for the adult learner and can be accomplished on a part-time or full-time basis.

Walsh University Division of Nursing is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC).
