All candidates who have completed nursing education and are eligible for licensure must pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) that measures the competencies needed to perform safely and effectively as a newly licensed, entry-level nurse. The Georgia Board of Nursing maintains NCLEX pass rates for Georgia institutions on its website. This website includes the total number of students taking the NCLEX exam by institution, the number of students who pass the NCLEX exam, and the pass rate for each institution.

(Note: The BON uses the calendar year for reporting NCLEX data, while most institutions report results by academic year.)

The USG has compiled data from the Georgia Board of Nursing’s tables to provide the following USG data:

• NCLEX pass rates for USG institutions (1994-2008)
• Number of new RNs produced by USG institutions (1994-2008)
• Percent of first-time nursing candidates passing NCLEX by degree type and national average (1994-2008)
