CHIPOLA COLLEGE
Spring registered nursing class
has 100% first-time pass rate
MARIANNA – Chipola College’s Spring 2023 graduating class of registered nursing students achieved a 100% pass rate for first-time test takers.
According to Dr. Pam Rentz, the VP of Instructional Affairs, several changes in the department contributed to this achievement: “Dr. Mays and her faculty have been diligent in making enhancements to the program that have resulted in these stellar pass rates.”
They implemented ATI, the leading U.S. provider of online instruction, remediation, analytics, and consulting solutions for nursing programs. This resource has provided supplemental instruction for each course in the program and allowed students to remediate on deficient content areas.
In addition, the opening of the Simulation Center two years ago has provided valuable hands-on experience for students in the program.
To assist with retention of students, the faculty implemented a mentoring program, in which each instructor is assigned a group of ADN students to advise. Faculty assist each student with creating a program study plan, removing barriers to success, and assisting with NCLEX preparation.
These enhancements to the program have led to unprecedented first-time test taker scores.
