About JJC's Program:
Today, more than 100 students graduate from both the practical nurse program and the registered nurse program annually. Our students have the benefit of a state-of-the-art simulation center in the Health Professions Center. High-fidelity simulation enhances our students' education and adds to the realism of the learning experience. The 2019 figures from the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) show the rates for candidates who have completed the registered nurse (RN) and licensed practical nurse (LPN) tests for the past five years. It is based on their completion of the licensure examinations for the first time upon graduating from an Illinois-approved nursing education program. JJC’s first-time pass rate in 2019 for the NCLEX-RN was 99 percent. That’s well above national and state averages of 88 and 88 percent, respectively. JJC had the second-most graduates in the state from an associate degree program. As for the NCLEX-PN, JJC’s first-time pass rate in 2019 was 99 percent.
