Southeastern Louisiana University Students Register Top Scores in Nursing Exam

Hammond - Students in Southeastern Louisiana University's nursing program recorded among the highest passage rates in the state for the past two quarters in the national licensure examination for registered nurses.

The university's passage rate of 94.6 surpassed the state's average passing rate of 89.6 and the nation's average of 87.8. "Louisiana programs consistently rank fairly high in passage rates, which is a tribute to the quality of nursing education in the state," said Donnie Booth, dean of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences. "To be at the top within the state is truly a recognition of excellence."

Southeastern graduates about 125-130 nursing students every year, making it among the largest programs in the state, Booth said. Approximately 360 students are enrolled in clinical courses at any one time in the program, which is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission.
