In a significant achievement, Riverside City Collegeâs (RCC) spring 2023 nursing graduates earned a 100% first-time pass rate on the NCLEX-RN exams, despite recent exam modifications for increased rigor.
âWeâve been preparing for this for the last couple of years,â said Tammy Vanthul, Dean of Instruction for RCCâs School of Nursing, attributing this success to intentional faculty development and enhanced training focused on clinical judgment over the past two years.
Over the last several years, RCCâs nursing program has expanded through grants, benefiting from faculty collaboration with apprenticeship partners, ensuring students are well-equipped with the necessary resources and skills. Vanthul regards this milestone as a reflection of RCCâs leadership in nursing education, âWe have done a lot of new things attempting to prepare the students, and it seems like itâs working.â
The diversity of RCCâs nursing program is notable, with 35% of faculty and over 80% of students belonging to minority or historically marginalized groups. In a predominantly female field, the faculty comprises 18% males. This achievement underscores RCCâs prominent nursing education status, reflecting academic excellence and commitment to diversity.
